Making Pictures

Did you ever hear that most foreign languages refer to the act of photography as making, rather than taking pictures? Inspired by the recent boom of online photography, I have discovered a MINOR in Photography offered by the DePaul Art & Design Department. Visual literacy is a job qualification for almost any professional field. Personally, it can enrich your appetite for art, inspire visits to galleries and museums during travel, and enable you to document your own life en vogue.

This program description explains the requirements for the minor. Check with Campus Connect to plan a Spring Quarter snap and click kick-off!

MINOR IN PHOTOGRAPHY

A Photography minor allows students to choose from their own selection of media arts courses. The minor in Photography is a concentrated program of study that lets the student design her/his approach to the photographic arts. It takes the processes of optical and mechanical reproduction as its starting points and emphasizes the role(s) of photography historically through culture. A total of six courses are required:
