Photography for Artists

[marcsaint]

<p>I'm putting together a "Photography for Artists" course to be offered to local art students and professionals (painting, sculpting, etc). The idea here is not to teach the art of photography, but rather to show how they can use their cameras and photography in the making of their own art. Some of the artists I know use their cameras to take reference photos for their artwork but don't have a real grasp of what their cameras are really capable of. Besides camera basics (what f/stops do, shutter speed, white balance, etc) I would also cover how to copy their artworks and how to store images for easy retrieval.<br>

My question is: does anyone know of any resources on the web for this? I haven't been able to find any, probably because when I use the search words "photography" and "artist" I get a thousand hits for photographic artists.<br>

Thanks for any help!</p>
