PHOTOGRAPHY Art 237, Intermediate Black-and-White: Visual Voice

A course in black-and-white photography extending the concerns of ART 136a or b.

Student work is discussed in regular critiques, supplemented by lectures and readings that consider the rich tradition of handheld photography and the production of artists such as George Brassaï, Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, and Robert Adams. Enrollment limited. Lab/materials fee: $150. Prerequisite: ART 136a or b or equivalent. Lisa Kereszi
