FINA 390

Photography and Literature - A Canadian Perspective (CPA) (2,1,0)(2,1,0)(L) 6 credits

This studio-based course serves equally as a practical introduction to photography and an exploration of relationships between image and text. From a Canadian perspective, a variety of literary and critical works of historical and contemporary photographers are considered. Projects will include photographic series, critical essays and interdisciplinary works which bridge the gap between the traditional disciplines of Art and English. Note: This course would be accessible to students without much prior photographic experience but would also be of interest to students who have taken FINA 176/186 or FINA 276/286. Out of class studio work will be required in order to complete projects introduced and demonstrated during the class time.

Prerequisite: FINA 112/122 and FINA 111/121
