MFP 701 - Graduate Seminar: Photography I

This first residency seminar will be a review and overview of Western and Non-Western art and its place within culture from its conception through to the early 1900s. The discourse will focus on our perception of what makes art, why art matters, and how and why it has changed and continues to develop as well as how it affects and is affected by cultural attitudes and shifts. Major artists and movements as well as cultural events will be discussed. Each student will produce short writing assignments that accompany assigned readings. (3 Credits)
