Experimental Techniques: Intermediate
Duration
2 month
Starting Date
October 1st
Price
125€
In this intermediate course, we will continue the journey started in the beginner course by exploring new techniques such as anthotype and experimental printing techniques. Additionally, we will deepen our understanding of techniques introduced in the previous course, such as chemigrams or solargraphy. We will also introduce new creative possibilities with sessions on photographic intervention and dedicate a session to working with Polaroid. The course is designed as a constructive progression where students can advance week by week using pre-recorded materials we will provide (workshops and conferences). Students will never feel alone as they will have access to artists to clarify technical doubts and our chat support to guide them through their learning process.
