Abstract

Teaching alternative photographic printing methods made me rethink my practice as a teacher: the need for art students to learn new techniques that allow them to find a practical component to conclude with their degree exhibition proposals within their theoretical research. This exploration is since these techniques have not been explored in an extended way since they have ceased to be part of a formal teaching curriculum.  Before I started teaching alternative processes in itinerant workshops, there was a need to find new ways to suggest artistic creation within the expanded field of contemporary photography which involves discovering techniques that increase their conceptual applications.
