PHOTOGRAPHY SURVEY

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Lower-Level

Throughout the history of photography artists have constructed, manipulated and altered photographs in imaginative and critical ways. They created new contexts that reflected the basic elements of the photographic medium—light and lens—and contended with archives, museums, and the mass media. Understanding photography can create a foundation to take on questions of the “real” and the artificial, the actual and the virtual, as important considerations for our time.
