Overview
Theory - No portfolio required.
This module will ground students in the origins of photography, its spread through culture as both science and art, and the beginnings of Modernism. The module will follow a more or less historical timeline ? the first five weeks dealing with the period prior to WWII, the subsequent weeks exploring the period between approximately WWII and the 1960s/70s. The trajectory is broadly European/North American - a grounding that is then challenged and expanded in Semester 2.
Assessment: Draft Essay (50%) ; Essay (50%). *All transcripts are issued in UK credits.
