PHOTO-3600: Media History 1

Course Description

Students will use a combination of original artwork and found material from open archives to make physical maquettes. Experimentation with different strategies to make sense, or not to, will be encouraged. We will discuss the incorporation of text, materiality, various printing methods, distribution, and general production of how a photobook can be made - either using means of mass production or as a handmade artist edition. We will also dive into the basics of InDesign and familiarize ourselves with this as a foundational tool for book design. Through studio assignments, readings, discussions, guest speakers, and critiques, our primary objective will be to expand our approach to photographic literacy and visual fluency.
