Art – Area of Emphasis in Photography and Expanded Media

The Photography program at the Lamar Dodd School of Art has a deep commitment to analog and digital technologies, and intersections of the two. The study of Photography spans the history of the medium from large format cameras and historic printing processes to the latest in digital technology, mixed media, and installation. The highly selective program typically has approximately forty undergraduate students and seven to nine graduate students generating innovative new work within the medium.

The program forms a comprehensive study of the art of photography including its processes and technology, history, criticism, contemporary practices, and the expressive potential of its unique visual language. Students are supported in their work by the facilities and studio space of School of Art. Housed in the main art building, the Photography area occupies over 7,000 square feet and spans two floors.
