Overview
This class is designed for students who are interested in learning about photography by viewing exhibitions of photographs, and creating their own photographic responses. In this module we will examine some of the different styles and genres of photography, from urban street-life photography to portraiture, from fine art photography to photo-journalism. The class will include visits to contemporary and historical exhibitions. Students will be asked to make photographic responses to exhibitions they have seen or texts they have read. Working on group exercises as well as individual projects, students will create their own photo blogs and learn the skills of image critique. They will be offered the tools to gain a critical and practical understanding of the language of photography. However, the course is not designed to teach technical skills.
