ART 301 ( special topics ) Intermediate photography
FROM EXPLORATION TO SELF EXPRESSION,
In the Footsteps of Yugoslav Cultural Heritage, 6 ECTS

Course description
Content of the course will explore visible aspects of Yugoslav cultural heritage in contemporary Serbia, understand social and theoretical aspects of local culture and produce final portfolio of images through the lens.
This course is intended for students of visual arts and humanities at
all levels, from introductory to advanced. Emphasis is on camera skills, image formation, transfer techniques through digital photography, and most importantly the content and the meaning of color photographic imagery. Emphasis is divided between the investigation of achievements by some of the most distinguished photographers from the last century and understanding of their artistic strategy, and practical photographic work executed outdoors in the environments of Belgrade and Serbian countryside.
While working within a group, students will develop individual projects related to their personal photographic vision within the context of images and memory in the post-Yugoslav circumstances.
The academic strength of the course is reflected in the backgrounds of its faculty and visiting artists.
Yugoslav cultural heritage is a reflection of a unique political and economical position of former state in-between the two major political blocs during the Cold War era, as well as it was an aspect of the general, global processes of modernization. This culture makes therefore an interesting proposition linked both to the ideology of 'democratic' and 'self- managed' socialism and to Western artistic influences in the post-war period.
This culture produced its 'official' and its 'dissident' counterparts, but the distinction between the two is not as uncomplicated as it is mostly interpreted, and therefore still presents an open field for academic research in the broader field of 'Yugoslav studies' which is in its theoretically exciting formation stage.
The summer course may help students in activating and focusing their interests in this impressive field of cultural signification, both in its general social and political role and in its specific artistic achievements upgraded with individual students’artistic projects.
The course will therefore be interdisciplinary in its approach and in using the theoretical framework of cultural studies, history and theory of art leading to artistic projects through visual art, photography and
video.
The programe structure will include lectures, critic sessions, visit to cultural institutions, field trips and excursions outside of Belgrade into the countryside.
