The photography program at James Madison University encourages an experimental and interdisciplinary approach to image making. The curriculum reflects a commitment to traditional photography, including 35 mm manual camera basics and black and white darkroom skills using silver gelatin based film and printing paper, yet also embraces advances in digital imaging and emerging technologies. We emphasize the interplay between craft, material and content, and students are encouraged to take risks while developing ideas based on personal, historical, and theoretical perspectives. We offer a variety of courses at both intermediate and advanced level each semester; students have the opportunity to work closely with faculty to explore their emerging ideas in the context of contemporary art practice. It is our belief that making art generates expansive thinking and promotes a deeper understanding of the environment we live in. It is our goal to enable students to be skilled both technically and conceptually, and to truly engage with the world.
