ART 385 - Film as Visual Art


Units: 3
When Offered: As offered
Film as Visual Art is a study of masterworks of cinematic art with an emphasis on visual aesthetics and cultural influences. The class will examine selected International cinematic classics, focusing on the film’s director, or ‘auteur’. The French idea of “camera as style” (pen) will be explored through the film director’s use of camera angles, composition, editing, and lighting will be explored and deconstructed, in a manner consistent with traditional forms of visual art. Also under consideration will be the way that these visual elements stand in dynamic and creative tension with the visual culture of their national origin or context. Included in this would be fashion, art, politics, and philosophy.
Grade Type: Letter Grade
