Photography Study Abroad Storytelling - ART 3270

Description

Students learn photography language and techniques developing an original visual project during their study abroad experience, drawing inspiration from the courses they attend in AEF, and having Florence as a highlight. They will be introduced to the history and languages of photography, reflecting on the “moyen” identity of the medium, its intermediate nature between picture and document, and using photography to reflect on, interpret, and synthesize their experiences.

Each student will create a photography blog and participate in the creation of the final collective exhibition, during which the works produced will be presented.
