MARK MCKNIGHT: “RHYME, REPETITION, AND RHYTHM: PHOTOGRAPHY AND POETRY” FRI. MARCH 19 – SUN. MARCH 21, 2021
Following an instructor lecture and assigned readings, students will spend several days in an in-depth workshop that supports a re-examination of their work through the lens of poetry. Students will probe the use of visual rhyme, repetition, and rhythm as a means of manufacturing meaning through the photographic sequence. In addition, the course will explore the poetic potential of scale, titles, and text + image to transform their work in gallery and book formats.
