ART 347 Advanced Photography Studies Seminar
Art majors in Photography can pursue intermediate and advanced level areas of study through an articulation agreement with The International Center of Photography (ICP). They also attend this weekly seminar-based course that combines the creative and analytical aspects of photography. Students have the option to choose from a variety of topics offered at ICP including Advanced Darkroom Techniques, Studio Lighting, Portraiture, Documentary Photography, Fashion Photography, Alternative Photographic Processes, Intermediate and Advanced Photoshop, Intermediate and Advanced Digital Printing. This seminar offers an academic and experiential perspective in a small, highly interactive class with an emphasis on private tutorials to support each student’s photographic interest. Seminar activities include critical readings, research and written response papers to historic and contemporary photographic exhibitions and field trips to fine art and commercial venues. Culminating projects include the production of two distinct bodies of work. One portfolio reflects the principles mastered through the ICP coursework and the other developed through the conversations and discussions that evolve throughout the semester. This course may be repeated with a different topic and with permission of the instructor.
This course may be repeated once with a different topic for a total of 6 credits.
