PHOT 240 Light

9:00 - 12:00 pm

Woods

PART

2 credits Without light there is no vision. The dark chamber of the camera will remain inactive. Light as such is the energy of miracles, it can be administered in many ways…existing light and how it changes the atmosphere of the material world. The class will be partially comprised of analyzing the nature of those changes. Created light.. Incandescent or flash or strobe.... The theatre of ambient creation... The class will be organized in part by certain formulas and by the interpretation of those formulas to go beyond them into personal discovery and expression. All forms of technology will be utilized. Light which exists or which is created can be the tool to release the personal light from within. Each student’s vision is considered and augmented. This class will meet every other Tuesday. Prerequisite: PHOT 105

PHOT / ARTH 313 Photography and the Human Condition

Laurie Dahlberg

. . . Th .

9:30 - 11:50 am

Fisher Annex

AART

Cross-listed: STS This course is concerned with the photographic tradition known imperfectly as "documentary" photography, and will focus particularly on social documentary photography -- that is, photography aimed at exposing social conditions with the implicit or explicit hope of effecting social change, initiating social critique, or otherwise raising viewer consciousness.  We will examine the channels through which such photography is seen -- picture magazines, news media, books, and museum/exhibition spaces, in order to better understand the relationship of documentary photography to institutional power.  Critical thinking since the 1970s has problematized the entire premise of social documentary photography, and this course will necessarily entail a thoughtful consideration of the complex politics of representation.  Several short papers and presentations will build toward a final research project.

PHOT 314 The Portrait

Luc Sante

. . . Th .

1:30 -3:50 pm

Woods

AART

Perhaps more than any other subject genre in art, portraiture is remarkable for the complexity that lies beneath its deceptively simple appearance. What is the object of a portrait? What constitutes the nature of 'likeness' or resemblance--is it a matter of recording the physical characteristics of a person, or rendering the "inner person" in pictorial form? In addition to considering the ontology of the portrait, this lecture course will trace historical developments in portraiture in the 19th and 20th centuries. This period is a crucial one in the history of portraiture, as it encompasses the advent of photography, which ultimately challenged (and changed) the terms of portraiture for all media. The interplay between photography and painting forms the core of the material. Artists to be considered include Ingres, Nadar, Hill and Adamson, van Gogh, Picasso, Cameron Man Ray, and Warhol. Prerequisite: Photography 110.
