Dowling College (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

3 credits In this course students will explore exciting, non-traditional ways to create compelling images with both a 35mm camera, and a Holga medium format camera. Techniques go beyond basic silver processes and include hand-applied emulsions to various materials, the construction of unique pinhole cameras, hand-coloring, solarization, cliche-verre (smoke on glass), toning/tinting, 3-dimensional photo constructions, collages, photo transfers and multiple exposure techniques. Some of these processes allow students to incorporate other disciplines and art forms resulting in the creation of unique, mixed-media works of art. The class culminates with a portfolio review and a critique of student work. Prerequisite: VIS 1023A and/or VIS 2098A. Offered: 2008 - 2010
