LLART 302 - Historical Photographic Processes in a Contemporary World

Experience the timeline of photography as you make prints using three different historical processes, while working with a film negative printed from your own digital file. Students will create cyanotype, van dyke brown, and salted paper prints, learn the history of each, and get to know artists from both the past and present who work(ed) with these processes. Special fee covers the cost of chemistry, paper, and the printing of one digital-to-film negative (additional negatives may be purchased from the instructor). Information regarding how to choose an image, and the file size required to print a negative, will be discussed in the first class.
