Section Information for Spring 2016
This class surveys the history of photography beginning with its nineteenth century origins and continuing into the present. We will consider how the photograph has been alternately employed as a scientific document, an aesthetic object, and a mass cultural icon. Due attention will be given to the technical, historical and artistic contexts under which this distinctive medium has evolved over time. Students will develop their analytical and critical thinking skills through class discussions, slide exams and writing assignments. A museum visit will be essential to successful participation in the class.
