FALL EVENING CLASS
Alternative Camera/AlternativeTechniques
with Lana Z Caplan
Massachusetts College of Art and Design Boston, MA
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This 8-week course is an introduction to non-silver printing processes, plastic, and pinhole cameras. Exploring these methods and materials adds an element of chance, frees up creative possibilities, and enhances painterly effects in photographs. Students learn to create and hand-apply sensitized coatings to produce prints using a variety of processes. Topics include brilliant blue cyanotype, Vandyke brown, palladium printing, tintypes and Polaroid transfer techniques, and students learn to make enlarged negatives in the darkroom and on the computer to use for contact printing. |
Monday nights 6:30 -10 PM
September 13 - November 8, 2010

SUMMER WORKSHOP
Art New England Summer Workshops
in Bennington, Vermont
A MassArt Program
Expressive Alternative Photography
with Lana Z. Caplan
August 1-7, 2010
About the Workshop
This course is for photographers interested in exploring different techniques to free up creativity and allow for chance encounters and the unexpected. We begin by making our own pinhole cameras, which can distort perspective yet offer remarkably sharp detail with a distinctive flair. Pinhole exposures will be made on both paper and film negatives, and we will use these make prints. We will take advantage of the summer sun, learning hand-coated printing techniques that use the sun for exposure; blue cyanotype, van dyke brown and palladium printing. Students can bring existing negatives for printing or shoot new images in the inspiring Vermont landscape and the studio. There will be plenty of time for experimentation and printing to complete a group of images and prints by the end of the week. Open to all levels of photographers
