ART 3677 - Experimental Photography



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ARTH 1600, ARTH 1700, ART 1101, ART 1141, ART 1501, ART 1531, and ART 2671 or ART 2763 with “C-” or better in each; or permission of department

Description: Students in this course learn alternative photographic techniques utilizing historical, non-silver and silver-based processes. The term alternative process is generally used to describe 19th century approaches to photographic printmaking; contemporary photography is experiencing a renaissance in the use of traditional methods applied in hybrid and/or interdisciplinary practices.  This course includes the use of low-tech and handmade cameras, the production and integration of digital negatives, and combining wet and digital lab processes. Students go beyond technical knowledge to critically assess the reasons for using alternative processes conceptually in their creative practice. Slide lectures, technical demonstrations and hands-on labs as well as readings, discussions and regular critiques all contribute to a practice that is conceptually and theoretically rich. This course is designated as Integrated Media.
