This course is designed for students who have a basic knowledge of photography and its materials and an interest in the use of the photo image as part of a broad vocabulary of image-making processes. Students explore cyanotype, van dyke brown, gumprint, collage, reproduction, and transfer techniques, and are given a basic working knowledge of the graphic arts films and print films. Ideas related to text, installation, and performance may also be explored. Each student is encouraged to experiment in both silver and non-silver processes and to conduct research independently. This course is intended to introduce students to basic concerns related to using the still photographic image with current electronic imaging processes.
Students explore the potentials of computers and software in developing their imagery and ideas.
This class covers a wide range of technical concerns which change according to semester and faculty. Past offerings include From Print to Book.
