Hello!

I'm glad you're interested in taking Art 216: History of Photography with me this term. In this course, we'll start with a historical overview of photography and then get into several case studies of major photographers and genres. Some topics we'll explore are early photography, Pictorialism, Surrealism, landscape photography, social documentary, and street photography.

The class is structured around weekly content modules and learning activities include discussion posts, short interpretive essays, creative assignments, and quizzes.

There is no required textbook to purchase for this class. All readings, articles, and videos will be provided in the weekly modules. To get a better feel for the class, please review a sample syllabus (while our syllabus will look a little different, the general info and outline of the course will be consistent) and a sample calendar.

This is an asynchronous, fully online class that does not meet on Zoom.

I have also prepared a "liquid syllabus" with our Health & Wellness statement, a brief course overview, and a Week 1 Success Kit. You can access the liquid syllabus at this link: ART 216 Liquid Syllabus. All dates will be updated by the start of the term.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the course. I'm happy to help!
