Core Curriculum II

Graduate / Professional

Adapted from Tod Papageorge’s course of the same name, Core Curriculum II is a seminar course that explores the relationship between form and content in photographs and photographic seeing. We utilize methods of close looking and visual thinking strategies to study seminal photographic work ranging from the historic to the contemporary. Students are asked to reflect first through individual writing responses and then through student-led discussions in class. Each student has the opportunity to design and lead a class section that reflects their questions about the medium. 3 Course cr M 1:30pm-4:30pm
