Course Description:
Nature photography has played a major role in conservation efforts. For example, early photographs of the American West excited the American public about these landscapes and were instrumental in the establishment of National Parks. Today photography is still used to promote environmental causes, but it also attracts large numbers of visitors to distant, often fragile places, thus aiding in the destruction of environments that it intended to protect. This seminar will explore the role of art in conservation. Students will have opportunities to take digital photographs during afternoon and Saturday sessions. A digital camera is required for the course. Photo outings will be subject to COVID regulations. |
