| Description | What is a photograph in the world of the pixel? Why print images? Why make photographs? This course explores the history, concept and craft of the photographic print, considering the materiality of photographs amid digital creation. Students study an array of image-making techniques, investigate the shape images take from screen to sculpture, and analyze the changing and often contentious definition of a photograph. Through a combination of workshops, readings, critiques, and field trips, the class offers a critical examination into the nature of digital and analog photography, challenging students to define their own practice within a historical and contemporary context. Students refine their printing techniques as they begin to develop a unique photographic language, giving shape to the way they see. Over the course of the semester, students are exposed to an array of techniques and ideas; students develop a set of skills -- material and critical -- that deepen their approach to making photographs. This is primarily a studio class and as such, the emphasis is on production of new images -- more proficiently using photographic tools, being more cognizant of techniques. |
