VIS 164Photographic Strategies: Looking and Seeing
Course guides students in the discovery of the possibilities for making new work within specific photographic restrictions. Photography is approached through experimentation, failure, breakthroughs, and inspiration. We will explore ways of thinking and producing, cultivating a rigorous process for students to develop a meaningful way of making their work. The construction of sequences, series, and the art of editing will be an important part of this critique-based course. Program or materials fees may apply. Two production-course limitation.
