- Class Description:
- The core of this course is the development of fully-formed bodies of work in a refined presentation format. The broader goal, however, is for students to embrace their art-making as a way to engage their inner selves and the world at large! All types of photographic (or mixed) media are encouraged. The common objective for each student this semester is to conceive of and complete one brilliant, astounding extended project, and use it to learn (and teach the rest of us) something about yourself and the world. You will write a short artist statement to accompany your final project, with help on working drafts throughout the semester. Technical topics will be covered as needed, demos determined by the class may include advanced lighting, Photoshop techniques, large format camera use, advanced silver printing, social networks, etc. Students will spend the first 10 weeks of the semester producing an extended single project, then a shorter follow-on project incorporating themes and growth from the first project. Students will begin by identifying areas of passion and curiosity that lend themselves to exploration through an extended project. We will start by looking at previous work, then draw from aspects of your artistic, intellectual and emotional lives. This class relies heavily on student interaction in crits, brainstorming sessions and discussions. You will all be helping each other conceive of and guide your projects. There will be at least three work-in-progress crits in addition to the final crit. We will have at least one working artist or curator from the community to help conduct one of the crits. The first major project will be shown in a mid-semester class exhibit. Each student will select a shared reading for the class, prepare questions and lead a discussion. The reading can be fiction or non-fiction, anything that informs your work and sensibilities. These need not be art theory or history, rather readings that are engaged with the non-art world outside school and museums. We will also view and discuss the work of historic and contemporary artists thought lectures and field trips
