Photography, B.A.
|
|
The photography major places an emphasis on using the medium as a tool for individual investigation and expression within a broader humanist dialogue of study. It is perceived as the direct extension of the individual in a world requiring the articulation of the visual image as a necessary part of conducting one’s personal and professional life. Photography is taught in the context of being the parent medium of cinema, video, and digital expression. Photography majors are engaged in critical thought and self-motivated practice.

Art and Design Foundation Core
Visual literacy is at the heart of the foundation core. In a world of increased and accelerated visual imagery, with greater numbers of people having the resources to create their own images, it is important to be able to understand how images work, both psychologically and physiologically.
Foundation courses offer students the perceptual and technical knowledge required to effectively create and control their own images. Survey courses in art history set up a historical context for students’ own work and help lay the groundwork for further study in art history, theory, and criticism.
Prospective majors are advised to consult with a member of the art faculty in planning their program and to complete the foundation core as soon as possible.
