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 experiments utilizing each one. Processes include digital camera lucida drawings, pinhole images, cyanotypes, analog color negatives, Polaroid images, scanograms, UV infrared capture, among others. We will research contemporary practitioners who are applying hybrid and alternative processes to question issues related to post-colonial perspectives, identity, race, and ethnicity.
