FRESHMAN/SOPHOMORE SEMINAR (4 units)

This seminar is based on the critical study and discussion of the work of selected master photographers from about 1860 to 1940, from Carleton Watkins to Walker Evans, with nine assignments to try making photographs in their styles.  The course is designed for students experienced in practical photography, including darkroom work in black and white.  There will be a term paper on a topic developed by each student with the instructor’s help.  No examination.  Registration for this course is by instructor approval only.  Enrollment is limited to eight students.  An interview is required between Friday, 25 August and Wednesday, 30 August; please bring samples of prints you made in the darkroom.  Further information and an interview sign-up sheet will be posted at that time near the instructor’s office, 423 Doe Library.
