Course Description
Since its beginnings, photography has had a profound impact on culture. In this course students will have the opportunity to discover the affinities and points of departure between the early photographic pioneers and contemporary digital practitioners through study and hands-on practice of “antique” processes and digital technologies. The class will discuss and participate in creating emotionally and sociologically powerful pictures that may affect individuals in personal endeavors as well as global enterprises. Various historical and contemporary themes, such as the photographic album, the exotic travel album, or the personal visual journal, will inform each student’s self-motivated final project. Prerequisite: Completion of the diploma requirement in art.
