Also if you want to review the role of Alfred Stieglitz’s Photo Secession group on gaining recognition for the photography as a fine art, you may want to view the first 39 minutes of the documentary “Alfred Stieglitz: The Eloquent Eye.”

 

Art! Camera! Food! Looking at Food, Looking at Photography

André Kertész

Welcome! If you’re here, then you’re probably enrolled in the “Art! Camera! Food!” Learning Community. We are three classes that will meet together in the Spring 2018 semester. All students are enrolled in Prof Cheng’s History of Photography ARTH1100-LC04 class and either Prof Zimmerman’s Culinary I HMGT 1203 or Prof Warner’s Baking & Pastry I HMGT 1204 class. This website is where you will find access to all materials for the History of Photography course and it is where you will submit some of your work. Although Professor Cheng will be grading your work on the OpenLab, Professors Zimmerman and Warner will be looking in too, as well as commenting and participating on our shared website. You will get many opportunities to think about what you produce in Culinary I and Baking & Pastry I in artistic terms, and better understand the history of the ever-changing medium of photography.

I look forward to meeting you in class. Look around, and check back often as I develop our class site, and please do not hesitate to contact me.

Professor Sandra Cheng
