23-2715 Photography in Chicago Now

Designed for majors and non-majors alike, this course exposes students to a broad range of photography as it is currently being exhibited in Chicago. On alternating weeks students attend a variety of venues that demonstrate the commercial, fine art, photojournalistic and scientific uses of the medium. Class sessions are also spent discussing these exhibitions in relation to texts used in class. Students will respond to visits and assigned readings via weekly written responses.
