Fine Arts Seminars are intended to broaden and clarify students' perspective on contemporary art practice. Each semester these seminars shift in focus and subject matter. Seminars may concentrate on art from the perspectives of art history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and so forth, or may take the form of a discipline-based critique focusing on the history, theory, and practice of painting, sculpture, and photography, among others.____A photographer’s studio practice is multifaceted — such is this course. We will meet weekly on Zoom to discuss what it takes to balance an art practice, professional life, and cultivate a supportive creative community. This course will serve as an introduction to the incredibly vibrant photography world that exists in the Bay Area (and beyond). There will be various Zoom talks with people from institutions such as SFMoMA, Pier 24, fine art galleries, as well as virtual studio visits with artists and publishers from across the country. Along the way we will also discuss the world of photobooks and publishing, photographic literacy as sequential language, print materials, and production. This is not a tech heavy course, but will incorporate some technical workshops to address current trends of production for exhibition and publishing.Online course sections will be delivered mostly asynchronously, with some synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus if applicable.
