Presentation
The revitalization of historical and/or alternative photographic processes, enhances the introduction of this CU as an autonomous subject, capable of providing students with skills as printers specialized in alternative laboratory techniques. Based on the knowledge acquired at the UC Photographic Techniques and Processes: Advanced and Experimental Techniques I, students will produce digital matrices suited to the characteristics of the processes they will experiment with, producing tests with high tonal and formal rigor.

Syllabus
Syllabus
Specialized knowledge of photosensitive materials invites students to experiment with chemical manipulations, manufacturing their formulas and exploring different processes, reflecting on the notions of latent imaging and evident imaging. 1: - History of contact printing processes; - History of camera-less photography; - Photography and technique: the performative and subversive nature of the practice of camera-less photography; - State of the art: analysis and reflection on authorial projects; - Composition and representation;- Plasticity and aesthetic dimension; - Supports and manufacturing processes; - Raw materials and forms of extraction; - Stability and permanence; two: - Solutions and emulsions based on silver salts. - Other ferrous metals. - Colloids (dichromate-based solutions); - Pigments (pigment extraction and application of botanical solutions in different creation and printing processes).

Objectives
Objectives
Throughout the course, students will have contact with alternative forms of photographic creation, working on their autonomy and expanding the field of understanding about the photographic. Specialized knowledge of photographic emulsion processes based on silver salts and other metals, colloids and pigments. Identification and understanding of the technical and aesthetic specificities of different photographic processes. Ability to establish a holistic dialogue between image and matter. Ability to identify the importance of good laboratory practices and supports in the plasticity of evidence and photographic objects. Notion of camera-less photography, deepening dialogues between experienced reality and experience. Ability to work supports, shapes, scale, textures and colors, finding new meanings, through different procedural modes thinking about meaning and representation Ability to develop tools that will contribute to your artistic practice.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
The interspersing of theoretical classes with practical classes, of a laboratory nature, allows for a fluid and organic dynamic that will be worked on according to the learning objectives of this UC.
