This course is designed to train students to visualize and document the environment they observe around them. Locations are used as reference material for communication solutions that translate to visual essays or visual journalism. Themes are timely and provocative. Each student will complete an eight image drawing series based on a location. This series will be presented in sequential form. Locations will include the zoo, Little Italy, Chinatown, South Street, St. John the Divine, and Union Square where we will gather visual data. Students will keep intensive journals of their visits that include observations of each location, interviews with people connected with their location, and photographs.
