PHO 221 — PHO-221. Photography and the World-Critical Perspectives. 3 Credits
LECT 30 hrs LAB 45 hrs Photography is a global phenomenon. It is integrated in every aspect of our lives, from social media to art and commerce, across the world from Tokyo, Japan, to Randolph, NJ. Photographs are visual products of the cultures from which they emerge. Through them, we could learn about the world's most pressing social, political, and cultural issues. In this course, students will learn how research, visual analysis, and critical thinking become essential components of a creative process. Students will research and analyze images found in electronic media, visit galleries and museums, and meet photographers from different cultures around the world. Students will use that global perspective to create visual works that could reach broader audience. There are no pre-requisites for students who are not Photography majors.
