Hello ARTH 1100 students! Welcome to the course website for Professor Sandra Cheng’s course on the History of Photography. The OpenLab is an integral component to our class. I look forward to our reading, writing, discussion, and LOOKING this semester. During our first class we’ll go over how to get everyone signed up on the site, and we’ll take it from there.

I cant wait to learn this about the history of photography and to understand the orgins of it. I cant wait to learn about different techinquies when it comes to taking pictures . I also want to know who the inventors of the photo . also I am also interested in the way that the shadows and lighting are used in photos to make the person look better in the way they are protrayed . Also I would want to learn more about how it was used in history . I see from the history that I learned that photography was used in time periods like the great despression and civil rights movement I would love to see how they were protrayed.
