Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students through practical exercises accompanied by a theoretical explanation of analog photography and the possibilities of its use. After completing the course, the student should be able to independently master the basic technological procedures in working with the gelatin process so that he is able to use the acquired knowledge and experience in his creative artistic practice. In the summer semester, teaching is extended by the processes of Cyanotype and Van Dyke. The teaching takes the form of practical exercises in darkrooms, in which students deepen the basic technological procedures of the gelatin process and try to implement practical outputs in the technologies of Cyanotype and Van Dyke.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the given field of study, they result from a concrete annotation of the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
