Description

The Photography program at the University of the Arts is designed to provide professional training balanced with contemporary fine art creativity. Cutting-edge technology is combined with critical thinking to create students who have the ability to adapt in a constantly changing field. A full range of media tools and technologies enable students to develop their own artistic vision and to hone the skills necessary for a career in a creative industry. An understanding and application of visual analysis combined with a mastery of technique enables the UArts Photography student to develop confidence and a unique artistic voice. Students learn to communicate their ideas visually, verbally, and in writing and are therefore prepared and confident makers. Our diverse faculty are active contemporary artists who are engaged in both commercial and fine art practices and bring real world knowledge into the classroom. The yearly lecture series, gallery exhibitions, and visiting artists create a rich and distinct educational experience.
