GDCV1115 Understanding Photography (3 units)
- Medium of Instruction:
- English
In this course, students will be introduced to early technologies of seeing from the camera obscura all the way through to Flickr, together with concepts and ideas of light, or reproduction and circulation of imagery, and the techniques used to produce particular effects and emotional responses. The various ways of photographic production enable students to understand not only the making process but to express their own thoughts in viewing the objective world. The course will include workshops in experimental photo-practice, for example, using mobile phone cameras to create artistic imagery. The assessable output (photographs, interpretative texts) will be presented in an exhibition.
