ART 592 - The American Photograph: 150 Years of American Culture


Credit(s): 3
This course is designed to accomplish three objectives. It will provide an introduction to select periods of American history from 1840 to the present through the exclusive use of photographs as evidence. It will explain the history of photography itself, how it came to be and why it grew in popularity. Finally, and perhaps most challenging, the course will introduce the participants to the field of visual culture, using the photograph to examine how we see and how images are used to influence our act of knowing. Offered as needed.
