Students are encouraged to develop an individual approach
to photography. Emphasis is placed on the creation of black
and white photographic prints which express plastic form,
emotions, and ideas about the physical world. Work is critiqued
weekly to give critical insights into editing of individual
student work and the use of the appropriate black and white
photographic materials necessary to give coherence to that
work. Study of the photography collection, gallery and museum
exhibitions, lectures, and a critical analysis of photographic
sequences in books and a research project supplement the weekly
critiques. In addition students produce a handmade archival
box to house their work which is organized into a loose sequence
and mounted to archival standards. Prerequisite: Fine Arts
103 or equivalent.
