The course aims to build a theoretical scaffolding on the fundamental elements of design that are applicable to the realization of images. Through the taking of photographs - in black and white - the student is confronted with the reality that surrounds it, analyze it, synthesize it and from it build a photographic environment or situation that reflects the application of knowledge about communication visual. Likewise, the aim is to provide students with criteria and tools that allow them to criticize their own work and that of others, identify their mistakes, learn from them and seek new creative solutions. Fundamentally, it is intended that students conceive the conception and production of images as a research process from which they can transform, create and innovate.
