Program Description

SEA 197-SPA Colliding Cultures: Capturing Spanish through Photography (Luke Behaunek & Tracy Dinesen); ECC: Global Perspective

The Iberian Peninsula has been home to many cultures throughout history. Each of these cultures found ways to not only use, but also improve the structures created by prior peoples. This course will explore the blending and colliding of cultures though architecture, art, food and other cultural expressions. As we explore Spain you will also capture cultural blends through your own photography. You will learn digital photography skills and editing software basics. These skills will enable you to capture not just our experiences, but those you have after our course as well. Note: Students must provide their own DSLR Camera or other sophisticated digital camera.
