Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0254 - Handmade Pictures

This course will explore the photographic techniques of cyanotype, platinum/palladium and carbon printing processes. Students will be introduced to historic and contemporary photographers using these and other alternative print processes. Workshops, readings, and critique will dovetail the more technical aspects of this class. Although there will be a good deal of technical application covered in this course, the overall objective is to explore these print processes that will offer creative options for students wishing to further expand their personal vision. Participation is a critical component of this course and it will, along with an end of the semester portfolio, figure prominently in course evaluations. Technical workshops will meet once a week for two hours. Instructor permission required.

Independent Work Lab fee: $100. Prerequisites: Photo I or the equivalent. In this course, students are generally expected to spend 8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
