- Class Description:
- Advanced Photography: As taught by Jan Estep during Fall 2011, this course is geared to the advanced student who is self-directed and self-motivated and wants a critical, creative context within which to explore his or her own artwork. Assignments, critiques, and group discussions are designed to help you further clarify your approach to photography, with a particular emphasis on the following: the shape of your own particular conceptual, emotional, and aesthetic gestures, the way your ideas take material form, your ability to articulate your concerns and interests, and the way your work relates to art history, contemporary art and theory, and the culture at large. Gaining a clearer sense of yourself as an artist is the main goal of this course, with a secondary goal of understanding the conceptual issues related to the photographic medium. The course will emphasize critique, readings and discussions, presentations, and independent studio/lab time. Students must be present and productive during all phases (participating during discussions and critiques and working on their own during lab). To gain familiarity with theoretical issues concerning photography, we will have four seminar-style reading discussions, with students sharing the responsibility for presenting the material in class. Students also will produce and present an initial project proposal, a short artist statement that will be workshopped in class, a final project, and various less-formal presentations and responses. I will also periodically offer slide and video presentations to round out the course.
