Photography & The Environment: Introductory ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

The ability of photography to document the human impact on the natural environment over the past several decades has created a vast body of images. These images have made us more aware of the danger that this human intrusion has created for future generations. The work of photographers and artists such as Edward Burtynsky, Vik Muniz, and others has shifted the dialogue from one of observation of the consequence of this human impact to a dialog about how damages to the environment can be corrected. NOTE: Students may take either the introductory or advanced level of this course but not both.
