ART 265 - Alternative Photographic Processes

1 Units

Without the tools traditionally used to fix an image, how might we visually record our lives? This course begins with that question as a premise for photographic thinking into the 21st Century. Students will engage in an exploratory image-making practice that is at once steeped in the origins of photographic seeing and married to increasingly urgent concerns about sustainability in artmaking and environmentally conscious image-making processes. The course encourages a deep appreciation for natural materials fostered by research and rich experimentation. Freed from the strict handling and disposal procedures of a traditional analogue photography course, students will create a rich hybrid language that celebrates photographic history, incorporates technology-based tools, and fosters materials-based experimentation and play.
