ART 197F - First- Year Seminar- Photography Speaks

Institution:

Hollins University

Subject:

Description:

Sulkin Using case studies, this seminar explores ways that important photographers have examined cultural and personal identity. We look at bodies of work (photographs) that deal with social concerns such as child labor and the environment, the important role of photography in establishing African- American identity in the early 20th century, and also consider issues of personal identity and gender in contemporary photography. Students will keep a visual diary, read, and respond to interesting articles, visit museums, and as an experiential component, learn how to make and develop their own photographs using a plastic lens camera and the Hollins darkroom with the goal of producing a creative final project. Lab fee required. No previous experience necessary. Placement to be determined during the summer. Offered Term 1. ( o, r , CRE, DIV)
