ART 1050 - Non-major Darkroom Photography

The course introduces photographic processes based in the traditional darkroom. Topics covered will be pinhole photography, photograms, cyanotype (sunprints), and photo transfers. Students will build their own pinhole cameras, and create photographs using black and white film and chemicals. Cyanotypes will make use of the sun to expose student's images. By working with Xerox copies of photographs (whether digital or film), students will learn several photo transfer processes. A film camera is optional for this course.
