Class Details
PHOTO (light) GRAPHY (drawing/writing) As the publication of Fox Talbot’s book Pencil of Nature illustrated in 1844, the essence of photography lies in its seemingly magical ability to fix shadows on light-sensitive surfaces. This can be done with or without a camera, by casting shadows, manipulating light, and chemically treating that surface. This class will concentrate on the design and fabrication of photographic drawings, using alchemy and light. Employing both digital and analog photographic processes, we will also use alternative processes, like gum dichromate. Imagery will focus on abstraction as well as two-dimensional renderings of the three-dimensional world. We will employ found imagery as well as invent our own and embrace the best of what reveals itself to us in our experimentation. There will be ample opportunity for chance, materials, and the elements to impact on the nature of the image created; we will learn to recognize the best results and edit out the rest. Evaluation will be based primarily on the quality of the portfolio, as compared to an ideal of conceptual, formal, and technical achievement.
