PHOT-255: Unconventional Printing

Unconventional Printing explores cyanotype on wood, glass, ceramic, as well as solarfast dye on fabrics. Students will learn how to create digital negatives and how to adjust them for an optimal print, depending on size and substrate. Subtstrate sizes can range from 8x10 and smaller or up to 11x14. Classes will include short instructions with a majority of the time focusing on hands-on unconventional printing. Students will be required to complete 3 examples of each process on varying surfaces, with a final critique at the last meeting. Students will be responsible for inkjet transparency film and various substrates that can range from $60-$80.
