Alternative Photographic Processes

Catalog description

This course will approach photography in a hands-on, experimental way, considering the material aspects that differentiate a photograph from other art forms. Instruction will cover 19th and 20th Century darkroom techniques including cyanotypes, photograms, and chemigrams, along with 21st Century approaches such as contact printing with digital negatives. The physicality of these methods will be central to both creative expression and critical interpretation within photographic work. Material fee, $200
