Photography Photography Certificate Program (Part-Time) Our Photography Certificate Program is one of the largest, most comprehensive part-time study programs in commercial photography in Canada. It is designed for those interested in pursuing a career in commercial photography, photojournalism, portraiture, or fine art. This program places equal emphasis on applied technical issues, art, and style. Students entering basic level courses in this program do not need any previous training or experience in photography. Students must have their own 35mm film or digital SLR camera and a sturdy tripod. An assortment of lenses is not necessary but is an advantage. Students with previous training or experience may challenge courses at the discretion of the Program Coordinator (approval through a portofolio showing is required). Our instructors represent some of the top individuals in the commercial and fine art fields of photography. These working professionals ensure that students learn the most up-to-date techniques and acquire a realistic perspective of the commercial and fine art photographic industries, including ethics and politics. Langara’s facilities include: three fully-equipped studios, 12 fully-equipped colour and black and white darkrooms, a colour dry-to-dry print processor, a large wet processing area, a print finishing and mounting room, three well-equipped Mac labs for digital imagery, two Hasselblad H3D medium format cameras, and a 4-foot Epson 9600 digital printer.
Certificate Requirements To qualify for certification, students must complete a minimum of 570 hours of training. Allow yourself two to two-and-a-half years to complete this program. When students have completed 16 courses (eight required and eight elective), and compiled a successful portfolio of photographs, they receive certification. Students who successfully challenge some of the required courses must still complete 16 courses in total. Note that not all courses are offered each term.

Electronic Music Production Electronic Music Production (Full-Time) The Electronic Music Production Program trains producers on a number of levels, from individuals who will be writing, recording, and producing their own work, to individuals who will be recording and producing other artists’ works, to composers who will be writing, recording, and producing work for commercial purposes (such as scores for film, TV, and games). The recording industry has changed significantly with the ongoing development of recording and producing software like Cubase that allow producers to work independently outside of the studio environment. Often you will find producers only using commercial studios to finalize the mix. The other instruments, vocals, effects, and mixing, will be taken care of outside of the commercial studio, saving significant money for recording artists. Students in this program will be using either a Mac or PC laptop, an audio interface, and the following software (all of which they keep): Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason, Native Instruments Komplete, Miroslav Philharmonik, and a mixing package. The students will register the computer and software in their own names. While students will produce the majority of their work on their own computer, they will also be working in some of Vancouver’s top commercial recording studios. Entry into this program is based on an interview. Students will receive extensive one-on-one instruction and consultation. All instructors are professional musicians and producers from the music industry, chosen for their extensive technical knowledge and industry recognized expertise.
Info, Resources & Forms www.langara.bc.ca/music
Electronic Music Production (Part-Time) The courses in the part-time program are all stand-alone courses aimed at people who wish to produce their own music. Computer technology has revolutionized the music industry in so many ways, from changing the way that professional studios operate to creating an entirely new genre of home-based music production. Computer programs such as Reason, Cubase, and Ableton Live have made it possible for amateur musicians to compose, produce, mix, master, and publish very high quality music with remarkably little expense. All you need is a good PC or Mac computer, an inexpensive USB keyboard, and the software, which usually costs less than $500 per package. Programs like Propellerhead’s Reason (www.propellerheads.se) allow you to produce original music without the use of conventional instruments. You may create as many mixers, synthesizers, highly complex drum machines, and samplers that play thousands of beautiful acoustic and electronic instrument samples. Reason comes with a complete sampled array of orchestral instruments, loop players, and a mind-boggling collection of effects devices such as reverb, digital delay, vocoders, compressors, and phasers. For those who also want to record original analogue instruments such as an acoustic guitar, piano or vocals, we use programs such as Cubase (www.steinberg.net) along with a USB interface to record instruments or vocals directly onto Cubase’s sequencer on your computer, and then use programs such as Reason to accompany the track with as many other instruments as you like. This program is also very relevant to people interested in using programs such as Ableton Live for live DJing or creating very complex loop-based music. The program is also very useful for interactive media designers who wish to produce soundtracks, sound effects, or sound bytes. You do not have to be an experienced musician to make very good use of the courses in this program.

Creative Writing “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see, and what it means. What I want and what I fear.” - Joan Didion There are as many reasons for writing as there are stories. And really, the reasons don’t matter. The writing matters. If you’ve got a story to tell, we have a course designed to help you tell it. And if you don’t have a story, we have instructors who will help you create one. From short stories, novels, and magazine pieces to comedy sketches and plays, we have courses for both aspiring and accomplished writers. For the fall 2012 term, in addition to our regular offerings, we are introducing three new courses: Introduction to Magazine Writing, led by local writer Tyee Bridge, gives students a taste of the magazine writer’s world from research and writing to selling your work; Writer’s Smorgasbord exposes students to a range of writing genres; and Introduction to Comedy Writing II - The Character focuses on the development of character in comedy writing. Both courses are taught by local comedy and television writer Leslie Mildiner. If you have a desire to write, we have a course and an instructor to help you develop your writer's voice. Introduction to Playwriting CREA1028 A lively, engaging introduction to the time-honoured art of playwriting. Meet professional Canadian playwrights and hear your work read by professional actors. Learn how to construct plots, write memorable dialogue, and create believable characters, as well as how to get your plays produced.

Plays and excerpts of plays by renowned playwrights are read, watched, and discussed. Students leave the course with basic playwriting skills and a new appreciation of live theatre. $259

Stylistic Movements in Illustration CICP1021 Illustration has a long and colourful tradition. Many great artists of the past were in tune with the idea of visual communication and the need to connect with the audiences of their day.

With this exciting and unique take on the traditional art history class, students will follow the styles and art movements that influenced illustration from the invention of the printing press to present-day digital media. This will also be a hands-on approach to learning, with drawing and painting exercises mixed with lecture and visual presentation. $399 (70474)

STEP Program Highlights Interactive workshops, guest speakers and educational outings. Through a variety of hands-on workshops and outings, students further explore course topics while developing and applying language skills they have learned in class. During these activities, students interact with native English speakers and explore aspects of Canadian culture. These rich and authentic learning opportunities allow students to practice their English language skills in an interactive and dynamic way. One popular STEP outing is curling at Hillcrest Centre, the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic curling venue. After learning about the history of the sport and how it is played, students visit the centre for a curling lesson. Afterwards, they form small teams and curl against each other using the techniques they have just learned and practicing their English skills. For most students, this is the first time they have ever curled making the outing an exciting and memorable experience.

Speaking of LEAP. University – Take ONE! Before I came to Canada, I got a high score on the TOEFL exam and was admitted to a well-known university in Ontario. I registered in five courses, but had problems reading textbooks because I could not find the connection between ideas; I had difficulties taking notes because the speech of native English speakers is faster and more complicated than TOEFL exam audio recordings. In the end, I withdrew from my courses and University.
My ACADEMIC Courses! I am currently taking Accounting, English, Psychology, and Math at Langara. I have no problem listening to lectures as long as I prepare before class and I find the transition to academic studies not as hard as before. LEAP is a big treasure. It prepares me comprehensively. Michael Wu, China
University – Take TWO! After my experience in Ontario, I decided to start my academic career all-over by taking a step back. I chose to develop my English skills first. I took the LEAP program at Langara College because one of my friends who had taken the program became very successful. I wanted to be as good as her!
2011 LEAP Graduate
My LEAP Experience! LEAP taught me how to read fast and stay focused on the main points. I learned to collect thoughts quickly and organize ideas logically. I was also encouraged to bring my personal experience and cultural knowledge into discussions and into understanding the context. LEAP 7 showed me debating skills and LEAP 8 prepared me to do research. With these two effective skills, I am able to do well in my academic studies.

Transformative Wholistic Reintegration Seminars - Part 1 ENRG 1098 Transformative Wholistic Reintegration provides strategies that enhance the ability to stay grounded and centered. It addresses challenges arising through developmental phases, especially inner child issues or those arising from sub-personalities. Unique transformational techniques assist practitioners to formulate responses to defense mechanisms, habits, resistance to change, and other meta-issues that appear to lock in self-defeating patterns. WHEE, selectively combined with other therapies, provides participants with powerful and positive skill sets that lend themselves to increasingly complex wholistic approaches to transformation for self and others. This course is theoretical, practical and highly experiential. Prerequisites: WHEE. Note: Part 2 and 3 offered in 2013.
