Beyond the material technique of photography lies a visual technique. This involves learning to see the way a camera sees; learning how a photograph, by its nature, transforms the world in front of the camera. The first half of the semester is devoted to exploring this visual grammar of photography and how it clarifies a photograph's meaning and the photographer's intent. During the second half of the semester, students pursue independent projects, putting their visual understanding into practice.

Cross-listed: Photography, Science, Technology & Society

The discovery of photography was announced in 1839, almost simultaneously by several inventors. Born of experiments in art and science, the medium combines vision and technology. It possesses a uniquely intimate relation to reality and for this reason has many applications outside the realm of fine art; nevertheless, from its inception photography has been a vehicle for artistic aspirations. This survey of the history of photography from its earliest manifestations to the 1970s considers the medium’s applications – as art, science, historical record, and document. This course is open to all students and is the prerequisite for most other courses in the history of photography. On-line registration

In the decades after World War II, photography’s social and artistic roles changed in many ways. The 1950s saw the dominance of magazine photography in Life and Look and witnessed the birth of a more personal photographic culture, exemplified by Robert Frank’s book The Americans. In the 1960s and 1970s, photographers such as Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Friedlander created a new view of contemporary life from moments gathered in the streets and from private lives. Beginning in the late 70s, artists trained outside of traditional photography began to employ the camera for wholly different purposes, using photography to pose ideological questions about images and image-making in a media-saturated culture. Today, the transformation of photography through digital technology has again thrown the meaning(s) of photographically-derived images into question. This lecture/discussion class will cover the historical context of this period and tease out fundamental issues of photography and its ostensible “nature” and the politics of representation. Student performance will be evaluated in class discussion, exams, and papers. No prerequisites, but preference ill be given to moderated photography and moderated art history students.

Course	PHOT 302 Advanced Photography
Professor	An-My Lê
CRN	17167
Schedule	Wed 6:30 -9:30 pm WDS
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

To prepare the student for ongoing independent work, this course emphasizes the exploration of visual problems. At the heart of this exploration is asking good questions of oneself and one's work, seeing how other photographers and artists in other media have dealt with such questions, and "answering" the questions for oneself through individual projects.

Course	PHOT 307 Advanced Digital Imaging
Professor	John Pilson
CRN	17166
Schedule	Fr 1:30 -4:30 pm HDR 106
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

This is a course designed for students with a basic understanding of the Adobe Photoshop software application. Emphasis will be placed on exploring digital photography from both a technical and theoretical perspective. In addition to learning various advanced imaging techniques, students will be encouraged to critically examine the ways in which digital imaging effects how we make and look at photographs. Through hands on practice and in-class critique and dialogue, the class will examine a variety of issues central to photography in the digital era, such as “What is the relationship of digital photography to traditional, analog photography? To what degree has our faith in the veracity of the photographic image been altered by the seamless editing capabilities of digital photography? How have issues of authorship, ownership, and copyright been effected? How might photographers best utilize the interactive arenas of multi-media and the internet? Students will be expected to bring work to class on a weekly basis and to participate in class critiques. Open to both photo and non-photo students. Prerequisite: Digital Imaging 1, or permission of the instructor.
