Description:

THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY~This course begins with a prehistory of photography and the subsequent discoveries of Niepce, Daguerre, and Talbot with the first practical methods using the camera and light-sensitive substances. While significant discoveries and inventions are noted, this course attempts to view photography primarily through the ideas and images of its practitioners. Photography is considered as a major art form of visual expression and communication. Particular attention is given to the dominant visual and aesthetic modes of the 19th and 20th centuries. Included in this three-week course is a field trip to the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York. A revised version of this course is offered for four credit hours as ART 244. A student may receive credit for only one of these courses.
