Taking, sharing, and viewing photos has become second nature to many of us.
Given our almost constant engagement with images, this course will help you delve deeper into the meaning of images and reconsider the role of photography in our visual culture.
This course aims to address the gap between truly seeing and understanding photographs by introducing a diversity of ideas, approaches, and technologies that inform their creation.
In this course, you'll take an up-close look at 100 photographs from the Museum of Modern Art's collection, going behind the scenes of the Museum and in the artists' studios through original film and audio interviews.
You'll hear a variety of perspectives on the ways photography has been used throughout its 180-year history: as a means of artistic expression, a tool for science and exploration, a documentation instrument, a way of telling stories and record stories, and a mode of communication and criticism.
Short texts and readings from MoMA publications provide enhanced context for course works.
By enrolling in this course, you'll join a community of international students in discussion forums, receive invitations to live and virtual events from our lead instructor Sarah Meister, and gain exclusive access to MoMA resources.
UPDATE: We've been listening to your feedback! In September 2020, we launched new content on Seeing Through Photographs, including audio interviews with additional contemporary artists from around the world, videos of Sarah presenting key insights, and nearly doubling the number of photographs in the collection.
We've also added opportunities for you to share and get feedback on your photos in the discussion forums.
