Possibilities include: sequential imagery, collage and montage, mixed media, wall hangings, and sculptural and installation uses of photography. Class time will include lecture, demonstration, critique, and hands-on, in-class projects. Writing and reading assignments as appropriate to the discipline are part of this course. Students do not need a camera for this course.  Prerequisite(s): PHO 100  or permission of instructor.
