  • SEM 1093: The Constructed Image

    3.00 Credits
    Hollins University

    Carr Quite often in photography, the approach involves finding the image, creating a composition from your surroundings or capturing a great shot through intuitive timing. We'll be doing none of that. This is an opportunity to work more slowly, to conceptualize the image, stage it, and then make the photo. In this class, students will explore the constructed image, first in the darkroom with the camera-less image and then with the Holga, a plastic medium format camera prone to adventure. In addition, we'll look at many examples of this way of working, and we will discuss each other's work at the end of each assignment. Course fee required.

  • SEM 1103: The South on Film Matthews

    3.00 Credits
    Hollins University

    This class will look at how 20th century films-major motion pictures and lesser known documentaries-have created and reflected popular opinion about the American South during times of tumultuous change. We will watch highly influential movies such as Birth of a Nation ( 1915) and Gone With the Wind ( 1939), alongside more modest short films like The Louisiana Story (1948) and The High Lonesome Sound ( 1963) that document ways of life in two very different parts of the South. We will discuss the images of race relations, folk life, religion, and other themes depicted in these films to explore how they reinforce or overturn myths and stereotypes about the region. Popcorn provided.

  • SEM 1109: The Bloomsbury Group: Britain's Avant- Garde Markert

    3.00 Credits
    Hollins University

    The Bloomsbury Group, a collection of British writers and intellectuals who were active during the first decades of the 20th century, included Virginia Woolf and her sister the artist Vanessa Bell, the art critics Clive Bell and Roger Fry, the novelists E. M. Forster and, at times, D. H. Lawrence, the historian and biographer Lynton Strachey, and the economist John Maynard Keynes, among others. This seminar focuses on the work of these writers and artists and the artistic and intellectual interrelations that seemed to define them as a group. Some of the questions we will investigate include: In what ways did this group represent a British avant-garde? Were there important links between sexual and artistic liberation? Did the group share common artistic ideals? What were the major literary and artistic works produced during this period and by whom? What were the important philosophical ideas undergirding this group? The seminar will deal with various texts, paintings, and film adaptations, such as the film versions of Virginia Woolf's Orlando and D. H. Lawrence' s Women inLove.
