グローバル教養科目（Photographing Tokyo: Looking at One’s Place in the Urban Landscape）

The class time will consist of lectures on photographic techniques, the history of photography and landscape painting, and the history of Tokyo, and presentations and discussions of student photographs.

Depending on the interests of the students taking the class, some readings may be assigned. But assignments will consist of thematic photographic projects to be carried out on students' free time outside of class. From these photographs, students will put together a portfolio to present to the class at the end of the semester.

[If the number of students enrolling in this course exceeds the number determined by the instructor, there may be a selection process. Instructions for the selection process will be given in the first class, so if you are interested in taking this course, please be sure to attend the first class.] While guidance can be given on film photography and printing, the assumption is that students will primarily use a digital camera. There is no requirement on the quality of camera; a smartphone will suffice. Students should ideally bring a device with a larger screen, such as a laptop or tablet, to present images. Students wishing to use film must bear the cost of film, and development, printing scanning or darkroom rental. Interested students must attend the first week and bring some photographs to show in the class, in the event there is the need to limit enrolment.
