Bowditch L. Bowdoin Photographers: Liberal Arts Lens

Bowdoin College, 1995. — 36 p.Accompanies an exhibition at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art from September 22 through November 26, 1995Bowdoin Photographers: Liberal Arts Lens is a gathering of photographic work hy Bowdoin graduates who studied with photographer John McKee. The exhibition evinces an enormous diversity and dynamism that is a testament to Associate Professor McKee and to the evolving meaning of the liberal arts. The liberal arts include academic disciplines that provide broad cultural exposure and understanding rather than narrowly defined technical expertise. The most critical component in a Bowdoin liberal arts education is learning to identify values and finding the courage to develop one's own. Like any discipline taught at Bowdoin, photography here goes beyond itself. It represents the results of a philosophical approach that provides a focus for students from a wide range of disciplines.
