F20 ART 618QPhotography: Art Practice (A Sense of Place or Understanding Place Through Photography)3.0 Units
Description:This course explores the concept of "place" and the cultural implications that accompany the definitions of "place." Working with photography and taking inspiration from the fields of geography, environmental studies, urban design and cultural anthropology, this course considers how a relationship to place is constructed. We will also consider displacements throughout history and value systems embedded in the construction of a sense of place. Is one's relationship to place personal? Is it collective, is it cultural, is it rooted in the surrounding environment? What are the marks that define a sense of place, and is there residue or lingering evidence that can be perceived? The medium of photography has unique capacities to address these questions. This studio course builds knowledge through photographic practice with accompanying readings, seminar discussion and guided assignments. Students will participate in an active process of exploring diverse concepts of place in relationship to the built environment. Students will be introduced to a range of ways of making and thinking about the subject of place, including looking at place as site, as geography, as memory, as non-place, as urban space, as rural space, as community, and as ecological site. No formal photographic training is necessary. Students will be introduced to the basics of camera operation, Photoshop and Lightroom software for editing and the fundamentals of digital print output for fine art printing will be covered.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
