Course Objectives: | This course aims to introduce the concept of fine art photography and related printing techniques. Students are expected to familiarize with different exhibition methods and put this knowledge into practice. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Recognize different printing methods. 2. Analyze the effects on presentation and exhibition techniques. 3. Identify fine art printing processes from 20th Century and before. 4. Analyze different practices in photographic history. 5. Practice fine art printing by using different printing methods. |
This course offers knowledge and practice of post-photographic processes like archival prints, alternative processes, different chemical and digital printing within the context of historical and contemporary practices. The effects of these processes on narration and production will also be explained and some of these processes will be put in practice by the students when applicable. |
