SART 17.09 The Photographer as Activist: Making Art Inspired by the Hood Museum's Collection

This course examines photography's evolving role as protagonist for raising awareness of important social and political issues of our time, such as war and its aftermath, the politics of gender and family, and the sustainable landscape.  Meetings in the Bernstein Study Center will focus on the study of specific photographs and the processes and techniques employed; these explorations will form the basis for individual photographic projects, culminating in a creative portfolio or book. Students will develop a critical framework for the cultivation of visual literacy and the understanding of photography's importance as witness to human experience.
