Rome Summer 2024: Documentary Photography
For the first time in three years, the Visual Arts Department will be running our summer course in Rome, and applications are now open for VART 3500 Documentary Photography, a Summer Session 1 course, is open to all students, so feel free to invite your non-Visual Arts Majors/Minors friends.
The course requires no prior experience with photography, and digital cameras will be provided to participants; however, it will be up to you to eat all that delicious gelato. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so please set up an appointment with either myself or Professor Lawton to speak more about the course if you are interested. The attached PDF shows examples of the previous student photography books, which are the culmination of the class and become a part of the university library collection, as well as some of the exhibitions of student work.
