Course Aims | ||||||||||||
This course aims to give you the creative perspective of the photographic medium through its experimental tradition and its creative edges in photographic history. Through the development of the photographic medium and the relevance of scientific imaging, we explore different techniques beyond the classic two-dimensional image and evaluate photographic implication in the creative process. While we enrich our vocabulary in the creation by employing advanced techniques and new media, we widen the understanding for content and context and confront photography as a creative means full of possibilities. This course provides a new insight for you to understand how photography renovates itself throughout decades and by closely examining the evolution into the digital era, we bring back its original aesthetics and develop our own photographic works with new creative significance. In the lectures, we cover new aesthetics of photography learnt from re-examining the following developments: The lectures will open up the creative agenda and to generate discussions. You will be given creative exercises to respond to each of the introduced topics. We will also examine the conceptual process of the photographic pioneers in all these related movements. In understanding how these creative photographic strategies have been developed and practiced in art history, you will reflect on your own understanding through independent creative exercises in a workshop environment through traditional and digital means. | ||||||||||||
