Photography Project Seminar

Undergraduate

A further exploration of the practice of photography through a sustained, singular project executed in a consistent manner over the course of the semester, either by analog or digital means. Student work is discussed in regular critiques, the artist statement is discussed, and lectures are framed around the aesthetic concerns that the students’ work provokes. Students are exposed to contemporary issues though visits to Yale’s collections and in lectures by guest artists, and are asked to consider their own work within a larger context. Students must work with the technical skills they have already gained in courses that are the pre-reqs, as this is not a skills-based class. Required of art majors concentrating in photography. Prerequisites: ART 1836 or 1838 and preferably, 2837, 3838 or 3879, or permission of the instructor. ART 1836 for those working in analog and, for those working digitally, ART 1838 . RP M 1:30pm-5:30pm
