Student Showcase

In Advanced Photography, students develop a self-directed, thematic body of photographic work drawn from their interests and requiring earnest self exploration, experimentation and research. Students also create a self-published book and a website along with investigative thesis-style writing as part of this course.

Art-making is often a non-linear path, where failure and false starts lead to discovery. Certainly, this semester saw this idea tested. These young artists embraced the uncertainty of the moment and allowed their projects to evolve or completely change due to the restrictions of the global pandemic. Students that were photographing others, those who were using the darkroom or other processes had to switch gears and reimagine how best to realize their ideas. Each of these artists worked toward self-discovery, and their projects evolved though several iterations. What you see here is the result of their journey during this unprecedented time.
