Students will immerse themselves in a specific project to be worked on throughout the semester and formally presented at final review. Weekly critiques of student work will be one emphasis of the course with time dedicated to developing artist statements, a written thesis paper, and preparation for a career in photography. Students will learn to critically evaluate ideas. Students will be introduced to leading practitioners in the field of contemporary photography through bi-weekly lectures, readings, and written analysis. The talks by visiting artists, historians and curators are organized by the department. Lab time, technical demonstrations, oral presentations, field work, and visits to area exhibitions and studios will occur on a regular basis.
