ARTS 179 — Alternative Photographic Processes
3 cr. Focusing on historical and alternative (pre -digital) forms of photography, this class will explore the historic arc of picture making from the birth of the medium to digital intervention. Students will be exposed to the plastic camera, the pinhole camera, black and white film processing, and historic printing processes like the Cyanotype, Gum Bichromate and the Kallitype. Emphasis will be placed on using these historic photographic tools to create emergent physical forms of photo graphic and student expression. Students will be encouraged to combine and move between individual photographic processes and presentation, and to work together as individuals and collectives. There are no prerequisites for this class, however students mus t be willing to actively build and create. Prerequisite(s): none Corequisite(s): none
