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.
