Semester Hours:3Fall
This course starts with the invention of photography in the 19th century and follows its early processes and ideas to the latest digital technologies. We see how photography emerges as one of the premier independent art forms of the 21st century. Its use is ubiquitous today in art, advertising, photojournalism, fashion and persona use. Through class discussions and visual presentations of individual photographers and movements, students will come to understand how photography formed into a dominant social force.
