Travel to New Orleans on Oakton Field Study

Photography students can enjoy a unique perspective on the "Crescent City" by enrolling in an Oakton Community College field study to New Orleans, scheduled May 20 - 28.

"This year's field study takes on greater significance because of what has happened in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina," said Judy Langston, professor of art and graphic design. "We will visit some of the locations students have photographed on previous trips, to observe the changes that have taken place. We won't be visiting any dangerous areas, however."

The Architecture and Cemeteries of New Orleans: A Photographic Journey (ART 290) gives film and digital photography students the opportunity for extended photography of historic New Orleans locations, including the French Quarter and St. Louis Cemetery. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. Upon return to campus, students will produce a distinct body of work consisting of traditional or digital photographic prints.

For more information, including course fees, contact Judy Langston, at 847-376-7106, or clouds@oakton.edu.
