Learning outcomes of the course unit

Through affirmation of these historical techiques students acquire an complete image of the development of the technology of photography. Upon completion of this module, students will be able to independently manage this technology which, as a result, may influence their exhibit project. In the flood of digital techology this classical opposite is particularly attractive because that it may exist in only one unique original. The use of thise technology has captivated a number of students in schools abroad which come to learn and test this technology.

Mode of study

1/29 - 30 March - testing of technology processes

a/ announcement of Podyji module s a source of inspiration for historical technology.

b/ group preparations of the Colloid process of mixing solutions for etching, pouring plates, exposition tests, plate usage tests for period before exposure - colloid drying period

c/ pour and paper preparation for carbon printing

d/ testing their sensitivity and completion of the entire process incluing testings

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Course contents

Several circumstances have led me to begin the Podyji project. As well, the procurement of a large format Chamonix 11x14 inch camera through OP3V, which has enabled a shift of my historical technique format to a good exhibition form. The tintype and ambrotype technologies have been covered in the „Photography as a Unique Original“ where we were able to systematize this technology in the studio. At the same time we executed several attempts of how to work with this technology outside. I try to use this experience and link it to the large format camera module, Colloid technology and other classical photographic techniques documenting the landscape around Podyji. In this manner we can get material which would confirm the appropriateness of these processes and be used for presentation at the FAMU Photography Dept. This module takes place over a 5 day gathering in Havranky. The results will be presented from mid-June at the Jiří Jeníček v Beroun

Assessment methods and criteria

Credit for participation in resolving technical assignments in on location photograpy in Podyji.
