Mistakes have been made in the history of photography, specifically how people have been represented. Beginning in the US, Native Americans were solely represented by Caucasian men who traveled into their communities and reinforced a damaging stereotype of a culture that is uncivilized and less evolved. Representation in photography also transcended to women, who became the subject of the male gaze and power. This course offers a survey of these biased histories created for the image and systematic racism represented within the medium that still occurs today. As a pronoun fluid society, students will investigate our convoluted history as it has been recorded and archived to reinforce systemic and visually complicated problems. Course Objectives 1) Identify misrepresentations of people and groups in history, specifically within the image. 2)Examine identity, meaning and responsibility within the works of local artists through visiting artist studios. 3) Deconstruct institutional biases through independent visits to museums. 4) Build presentations of artists whose work has been underrepresented. 5) Create an end of semester project that entails a self-portrait that holds a conversation around how to responsibly represent an identity or group.

Color Photography introduces color photographic materials, both digital and analog, and their implementation into the image-making practice within the photography major. Throughout the course color materials are explored and researched to develop skills in color photographic practice and create images that communicate your vision. An understanding of color theory and its application in the image making process in tandem with developing carefully considered projects is vital for successful photographic growth. This course continues to expand and build on the visual communication and critical analysis forms addressed in previous courses. Exposure techniques, significance of varied light sources, film characteristics, and presentation methods are explored in the development of projects to enhance and support the intention of the work. Discussions and course work focuses on the balance between these elements of color photography and continued development in visual communications. Prerequisite: PHOT 204. Course Objectives (1) Demonstrate an understanding of analog color processes through technical, hands-on application. 2) Define and employ advanced and specialized photographic terminology related to color photography. 3) Interpret and apply basic color science and theory to strengthen color vision accuracy. 4) Write artist statements to communciate project goals. 5) Develop color film and print analog color photographs to create a portfolio of work. 6) Evaluate and criticize the photographs taken by others through the critique process.
