By combining digital technology and traditional photography, students learn the hands-on techniques of contact printing in two of the oldest photographic printing processes: cyanotype + gum bichromate printing, which were popular in the 19th century and produce unique results. Students work with photosensitive solutions that can be hand-applied to numerous natural fiber surfaces such as artist’s papers, fabrics and wood. Traditional film and digital negatives are placed upon the coated surface during exposure to strong light to create beautiful prints. Students explore cyanotype to produce images in rich shades of blue before working in the gum bichromate process where they work with photosensitized watercolor pigment producing prints that are a beautifully luminous combination of painting and photography.

Hybrid Course Screenwriting – Developing the Script No matter what stage you’re in, this course uses the workshop approach to help you ignite a new screenplay, make significant headway on one already in-progress or finish a first-draft script.

As a writer, you will “contract” to complete a specific step towards the development of your own screenplay. The overall goal is to make sure you have a strong movie premise, a clear genre, a treatment that tells the story well, an outline built on an exciting scene-by-scene sequence structure and a script that can be produced.

Sessions include structural breakdowns of feature films, discussion of assigned readings, application of screenwriting techniques and pertinent exercises. You should be prepared to pitch your screenplay on the first night of class.

The course may be repeated until a first-draft screenplay is completed.

Note: This is a hybrid course, with writers spending half their class time on campus and the other half online. Participants post weekly writing output online in preparation for meetings in which peers respond and the instructor gives personalized feedback on genre, character development, story structure, conflict, emotional arc, dialogue and cinematic format. A comprehensive schedule may be obtained by reviewing the course syllabus online.
