  • TYLER PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES AVAILABLE to NON-MAJORS There Are Currently Four Different Courses Available to Non-Majors
    TYLER PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES AVAILABLE TO NON-MAJORS There are currently four different courses available to non-majors. They are: ART 0822 - Human Behavior and the Photographic Image How do photographs become more than just a pile of disparate images? Is there more to photography than that single "decisive moment" in the hunt and capture of an image? How do photographers comment on issues that are important to them? How can photographs tell a story? Is there a way one can use the art of photography to elicit change? In this class, students will use their digital cameras to investigate individual photographs, as well as series of photographs. We will look at photography in its historical context -- at the advent of documentary photography and photojournalism, and at narrative photography in its more contemporary form, as photographers use it to chronicle their own lives and to tell a story. Through the exercises of looking at and making photographic images, several core concepts of social work, along with theories of human behavior in the social environment, will be introduced. Students will learn not only about the place photography holds in our culture, but our culture itself, and the students' place in that culture. Students will critically analyze published photographs, as well as photographs made during the class. The semester will culminate in a class exhibition where students will be given the opportunity to present their photographs to the public, demonstrating their understanding of human behavior in the social environment. NOTE: This course fulfills the Human Behavior (GB) requirement for students under GenEd and Individual & Society (IN) for students under Core.

  • Lesson Plan Design “Narrative Photography”
    HS Lesson Plan Design “Narrative Photography” Step 1: Ideation Using a writing frame, have students begin to think about their narratives. Have them identify characters, setting, and conflict. As their narratives develop, ask them to identify which elements and/or principals can be used to help reinforce their story elements. Based on their ideation work, have students create a few composition sketches to get them thinking about the actual images. Step 2: Photography Using their ideation work, students will take a number of photographs using whatever technology is available. Don’t discount cell phones! They are a great way to get quality images. Encourage students to take at least Objective: Students will use the elements 10-20 photographs.

  • Fall 2018 Lecture and Course Descriptions
    1 Fall 2018 Lecture and Course Descriptions 2 Lectures Sponsored by the Education Department All lectures take place in the Lasell Village Ballroom, and no pre-registration is required unless otherwise specified. Changes in the lecture schedule will be announced in News and Notes and posted on the bulletin board at the Resident Services Desk. Leveraging Cognitive Strategies to Benefit Attention and Memory Tuesday, October 2, 2018 7:30 PM Elizabeth K., Ph.D. In this talk, Elizabeth K. will briefly describe some commonly-experienced lapses in attention and memory and explain why they often occur more frequently as we age. She will discuss cognitive strategies that can be used to reduce the frequency or severity of these lapses. The focus will be on strategies that may help people to be at their mental best in attention- and memory-demanding situations, helping people to attend to what is important, to learn new information, and to retrieve information from memory. Presenter: Elizabeth K.is Professor and Chair of Psychology at Boston College, where she has directed the Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory since 2006. Although she spent her childhood in Kansas City, Missouri, she has been in the Boston area for a long time, having received her B.A. from Harvard University and her Ph.D. from MIT. Her research combines multiple methods (behavioral testing, psychophysiological recording, and brain imaging techniques) to better understand how age affects the processes used to learn and remember information. She is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts and her research has been cited over 10,000 times.

  • PHMD 201 - Photography I: View Camera, Fall 2013 Writing Prompt No
    PHMD 201 - Photography I: View Camera, Fall 2013 Writing Prompt No. 3 Read the chapter Once Upon A Time posted under Course Documents. Ideally, read this before you begin the Constructed Narrative assignment, as it will provide inspiration as you develop your idea. In the reading, identify and write about the two following things: 1. A statement, sentence, or paragraph that resonates with you or makes you consider photography in a way you had not before. Write it down, and explain why it resonates with you. 2. Formulate a question for discussion in regards to the reading. This should be something you don't understand or don't agree with and why. Be critical and inquisitive. “There were a lot of things I found interesting in the reading of Once Upon a Time. However one thing that resonated with me was the fact that most artists that create a narrative with photographs are using specific imagery and narratives that are specific to a place or culture. For example in Sarah Dobias Red Room, there is an intentionally open - ended narrative that is happening. There are personal choices that she decided to leave out of the frame which is unclear to the viewer. Also the blanket could be taken many different ways psychologically. Another thing that I found interesting was that Backstrom photographs do not contain a human element. Thus asking the viewer to engage with instituionalized and commercialized aspects of the scene. I guess a question that I would ask many of these artist would be, what makes a constructed narrative so strong? Does there have to be a human element present in the equation? The reason I ask this question is because most of the images that are within this reading have figures/models within them and some do not.

Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evi- dence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution.

  • Contemporary Photography and the Reality Effect
    Contemporary Photography and the Reality Effect [edit] [edit] Introduction In today’s hybridized artworld, the art object known as the photograph is changing both in subject matter and the tools and techniques used in its production. The images are produced for different contexts such as documentary projects, portraiture, and fine art galleries. Photography’s richest quality — the ‘having-been-there’ -- drives viewers' demand for images and has propelled the artform since its inception. In contemporary photography, creative visionaries like Andreas Gursky and Peter Funch use photography as a way to explore hidden themes such as chaos and order, repetition and harmony. It is the second order of reality that prompted Roland Barthes to say, "A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see." What we see is a reflection of ourselves, the world held still by a clicking shutter or by a multi-layered Photoshop image. The natural world reproduced via a mediated experience — the camera and print — is still the pedestal on which photography rests, but increasingly the photograph reflects a culture in which computers and technology play a central role in the art making process. The conventional genres of photography range from a direct, almost clinical recordings of the world, to ironic, post-modern interpretations of today’s materialism. As contemporary photography becomes more conceptual, its artists reveal the hidden reality behind themes like the environment, street life, loneliness, and love. A tension has arisen between photography as a form of documentation and a medium to express feelings, emotions and the artists' visions. The boundaries are blurred.
