ARTS 223 - Photography and the City

FDR: HA
Credits: 4

Prerequisites: Prerequisite: ARTS 120, 222 and instructor consent. Spring Term Abroad course. The city of Paris has played a critical role throughout the history of photography, from the invention of the daguerreotype in 1839, to its role today as a capitol of the contemporary photographic art scene. With this historical and cultural context in mind, students explore the city with their cameras, and create images based on their own visual research. Collaborative, interdisciplinary, and digital projects comprise the majority of work in this course, and gallery and museum visits play an integral role. Bowden. Planned Offering: Spring 2017 and alternate years.
