Emily Wang, En Route, 2017
攝影創意培養  ( 7 堂課 / 每堂 2 小時)
The Creative Photographer ( 7 sessions / 2 hours per session)

授課導師：王慶蘋 Emily Wang

​以「好奇心」為起點，這堂課將與學員一起探索「可能性」：從日常經驗的留心、轉換觀看角度、以及嘗試新的實驗與創作模式等。藉由「可能性」的探索所提供的多元嶄新經驗激發想像力與創意。本課程由六堂「主題探索」及終堂評論共七堂組成。主題探索涵蓋以下三個面向：
​
  1. 課堂實驗：此為主題探索的核心。透過團體創作活動、個別指導與同學互相觀摩的開放性，讓同學有機會留心自我與他人觀看經驗的差異、創意表現的模式進而自我調整，並藉此鼓勵良性競爭。有限的實驗時間則提供適當壓力，訓練同學發揮想像力與創意即席完成作品。
  2. 學習他人創意：透過實驗過程與作品討論，了解同儕如何轉化觀察力於作品創意表現。輔以攝影家/藝術家作品欣賞或短片，認識他們如何轉化日常觀察力、催化想像與實驗精神於創作歷程。
  3. 定期／突襲創作練習：作業模式有兩種：（1）固定課後作業；（2）「突襲作業」（課前公佈之作業）－用以訓練同學即興發揮創意完成作品。

本課程結束時，學生應展示符合個人創意表達之最佳作品6張。
 
附註：
  • 這不是一堂以技巧製造視覺刺激的課。
  • 學員對於自己使用的攝影器材應有基本認識。
  • 本課程大綱將視學生需要進行調整，以符合創意精神。

This course is designed to nurture creativity in photographer. The course consists of six thematic explorations and one final presentation. Each thematic exploration focuses on the following three aspects:

  1. In-class exercise: this is the core of each thematic exploration.  The purpose is to engage students fine-tune their sensitivity to creative experiences and stimulate their imagination in trying new ways to finish a work within limited time frame. Group activities encourage students to observe and learn from each other and provide positive competition among peers.  Limited time frame tests students’ imagination and creative problem solving under pressure.
  2. Learning from Others: How peers and master photographers solve their creative problems.
  3. Regular and Ambush Assignments: ambush assignment is to put students’ spontaneity and problem-solving ability on the fly to test.

In the end of the course, each student will present a series of 6 photographs that best manifest his/her creativity in photography.

Note:
  • This is not a technique-oriented course. Technique is the outcome of an individual’s way of solving his/her creative problems.
  • The thematic structure of this course will be adjusted to suit students’ need creatively.
