The Photography program in the Art Department investigates photography as a vehicle of self expression.
Emphasis is placed on the discovery and development of a personal vision.
At the core of the program are small discussion and critique groups. These groups nurture an intellectual curiosity for the examination of images in a historical, cultural, and personal context. Through demonstration and lecture the student explores a variety of materials, techniques, and their conceptual implication. The 3,000 square foot photography area is housed in Sherzer Hall, which is a beautifully restored 19th century science building. The area includes critique and lecture facilities, a gang darkroom with seven enlargers, three individual darkrooms, and a print finishing area.
