The Self and Others

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The human portrait has been one of the most significant and enduring subjects in the history of image-making. This course will consider the portrait through a variety of means from historical to contemporary and conceptual artworks. Images will be made both inside and outside the lighting studio. Various approaches to making will be introduced from digital to darkroom. Emphasis will be placed on students’ technical development and conceptual growth in their own artwork and vision, culminating in a final portfolio.
