ARTS 226
Intermediate Photography: Photography and the Senses Fall 2023
Division I

Class Details

In the speed of a digital world, what can a slower, more tactile engagement with our materials and surroundings teach us about ourselves? This studio course builds on the skills of Introduction to Digital Photography through a multi-sensorial, tactile, and experimental approach. Students learn more advanced techniques in Photoshop and inkjet printing, and explore various paper types, material possibilities, and installation techniques. Through a series of creative assignments, we tap into all 5 senses (not just vision) in order to unlock embodied knowledge and new ways of seeing. Activities include, but are not limited to, engaging with sound experiments, creative writing games, activities exploring texture and material in nature, collage, and where appropriate, somatic exercises. An emphasis will be placed on play and experimentation, hands-on learning, and class discussions of artwork, texts, poetry, and other media. Students will work to create a series of works on a topic of their choice, to be discussed in regular critiques.
