    This is the highest level course offered in the Photography Curriculum; designed as a one-on-one student/professor interaction, geared to prepare the student for real world art practices outside of the University. The purpose is to offer rigorous guidance on developing studio work in an interdisciplinary environment. The Emphasis on this course is on studio production and research. Students work independently throughout the semester, and schedule weekly meetings with the instructor to check in on the progress of his/her artwork. Prerequisites: Must have completed at least one PHOT 390 Advanced Photography course and must hold at least a 3.8 GPA in the Photographic Major Electives. Advisor approval is necessary for registration. Course Objectives (1) Propose and develop a self-generated art project. (2) Discuss and self-evaluate production progress, research findings, and/or shifts in studio practice. (3) Research important topics written by published authors, artists and critics relevant to specific interest of study. (4) Develop an independent art practice that demonstrates professional skills and practices approriate to an area of interest. (5) Integrate and develop ideas in such a way as to chart the expanse in production in terms of quality of ideas, experimentation, and development.

  • PHOT 570: Documentary Photography

    3.00 Credits
    Point Park University

    Students will work on photo documentary projects based on the established methodology to reduce the fast paced world to a set of still images that convey life and world experiences by creating a distinctive and compelling sense of reason, place and time. Students will gain a basic understanding of documentary photography history and principles through writing reactions to assigned books and films about documentary principles. Students will establish personal methods to focus on the meaning and content of their pictures, the quality of their pictures and the way they observe the world around them. Prerequisites: JOUR 528, or Instructor Permission. Course Objectives (1) Demonstrate the ability to employ documentary techniques to capture the substance of the people photographed (2) Demonstrate the ability to construct a story in pictures connected by theme or topic (3) Demonstrate the ability to complete assignments that document an assigned subject matter in a professional, ethic manner (4) Demonstrate an ability to discuss their work and the work of their classmates using the terms, classifications and benchmarks of the documentarian (5) Demonstrate the ability to research, plan and execute documentary photography and multimedia assignments (6) Demonstrate a personal approach to documentary photography by discretionary selection of subject matter, composition, exposure and other documentary tools available
