A special topics course in the history of French Modernism with a focus on the history of photography in France. The course takes the position that modernism and photography are conceptually inseparable. We'll cover a variety of topics that touch upon painting, illustration, printmaking, sculpture, and architecture, fashion, film. Though the focus is on photography, the course will consider the French historical, social and political context of the 1820s to recent production.

Group Visual Project
Amy and I created this visual project to represent time as well as reference articles we have read through this class. We used natural found objects: flowers to create the colored background, gravel, lavender, okhra from the local quarry, sticks and digital images.

Caitie and Chris Week 8



Our visual assignment deals with the concept of dreams. We wanted to represent the way in which dreams are fragmented and disjointed when recalled by the conscious mind. Dreams apear as parts of a whole, with relative parts more clear, often the place or people in which you interacted, but pieces are missing. Actions seem fuzzy and somewhat haunting. Our chosen imagery conveys anxiety, death and this element of the haunting.
