Pre-requisite: Photography & Imaging II, or permission of the department. This course is designed for P&I sophomores and juniors who want to work on a self-designed semester long project. Students may work in any photo-based media and form of presentation. Weekly work-in-progress critiques will be accompanied by discussions of contemporary and historical art works that relate to the student project ideas. Individual research is crucial in developing an artistic practice so students will be expected read and see exhibitions both off and online. Modes of presentation and editing for exhibitions and online presentation will also be explored. If you would like to discuss project ideas for the course, please feel free to email lorie.novak@nyu.edu. This course requires a nonrefundable lab fee.
