Event Description

How is knowledge expressed? Portraits of Greeks tended to revolve around famous individuals from the areas of philosophy, literature, and leadership. The first portrait of Homer was created three centuries after he lived. How did the sculptor approach the challenges of this unknown subject? In general, creating an ideal image seemed to be the goal in the Greek world, but the shock of ugliness in portraits of Socrates introduced new options. The portrait could include a multisensory experience, including visually stimulating colors and olfactory scents, as recent research reveals. The Greek speaking world continued to expand, and portraits of the wider populations changed as well, from North Africa to the Greek East. A new emphasis is seen in individualized portraits of people we might expect to see in our own local communities.

Event Description

Ultimately, your photographs are about you. It’s called your personal work because you see and create with a camera—you experience mindful moments, capturing and preserving these unique images. Now what . . . share them on a phone screen, create a social media or website, make prints that end up stored under your bed? Or, really step back and take a look with fresh eyes at your photographs? If you are an emerging photographer, a seasoned image-maker, or just want to embrace a new viewpoint within the creative realm of photography, this class will demystify current trends and point you to tried-and-true methods for understanding your work. It is a short course to either jumpstart you with new ideas or solidify your current projects with a critical eye and valuable testing of your work with feedback from peers. We will tackle the following questions: Where do images and ideas come from within you and how do you put these into practice?
