Course Description:
The Art of Photography explores the multiple aspects of the art photograph (broadly defined) from its prehistory to the present. Photography will be analyzed through readings, images, and original examples, from its scientific and technical processes to its social, cultural, and artistic values. The changing cultural perspective of the photograph will be analyzed by placing the history of photography within larger social and scientific contexts from the experiments with the camera obscura by Renaissance artists through the development of printmaking and photolithography. The influence of photography on other artistic forms will also be explored.
