Course Description
Summary
This course is a hands-on exploration of the many photographic materials spanning the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Over the term, students will study ten specific processes and be asked to create ten 8x10 inch experiments utilizing each one. Processes include digital camera lucida drawings, pinhole images, cyanotypes, analog color negatives, Polaroid images, scanograms, digital infrared capture, among others. We will research BIPOC practitioners who are applying hybrid and alternative processes to question issues related to post-colonial perspectives, identity, race, and ethnicity.
