More photographs are uploaded to Facebook every two minutes than were made during the first 60 years of the history of photography. With the shift to digital technology and the convenience it affords, electronic photography has replaced traditional, silver-based photography as our mainstream method of visual expression and communication. Traditional photography, however, continues to be practiced with a strong and passionate following. Most serious photographers consider it necessary to learn these skills to truly understand the medium, and many practice it for its immediacy and hands-on intimacy. This course will introduce skills, techniques, and materials of traditional, silver-based black and white photography. These skills include use of camera types, including view cameras and hand-held cameras, lenses, light metering techniques, lighting techniques, and refined development and traditional printing techniques. We will examine how different technologies have introduced different methods, and how these methods have shaped, and been shaped by, cultural aesthetics and priorities. We will discuss and examine artistic and photographic concerns, and deal with the advancement of personal visual and conceptual skills needed to produce affective images. Students in this course will experiment with a variety of materials, techniques, and philosophical approaches to traditional photography, and ultimately produce a body of work that exhibits their own personal investigations and creative expression.

This hybrid studio-seminar course examines art about landscape, space, and environments, while challenging students to build on these ideas in their own creative work. Students will research artworks and writings that explore topics such as landscape, "wild" and urban space, public and private spaces, land(scapes) and power, using this context to inform their creative works that address these same topics. This course simultaneously introduces students to fundamental drawing techniques, with a special focus on drawings and images made using landscape, nature, and hybridized modes of visual communication. No previous experience with drawing is required. (WCore: WCFAH, RE)

On this May Term Study Experience students will explore Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Reykjavik - three cities that are visually stunning with a rich cultural history. Copenhagen is known as a food destination in itself, Reykjavik is known for breathtaking glaciers and contemporary art, and Stockholm is known as one of the world's top pop music exporters. With these exciting cultures as our backdrop, participants will delve into the search for social justice among Scandinavia and Iceland's top policy makers, artists, and community activists. In small-group meetings, we will ask the following questions: "Where do they see a need for change or social transformation?" "What means or mechanisms do artists and policy makers use to further their goals?" And finally, "what would equality look like for them?" These are important questions because Scandinavia and Iceland top the world for gender equality, yet has much work to do around race, ethnicity, and immigration. Students will return from the trip with a better understanding of Scandinavian and Icelandic social policy and the advocacy work that remains to be done both within Scandinavia and the United States.
