Una mirada en blanco y negro: resignificación de la fotografía

Abstract

This article presents a reflection about teaching practices from an analysis of classroom experience associated with the teaching of photography in the Graphic Design program at Universidad de Boyacá.This is the reason of the classroom as the place where classes about the importance of rescuing a craft technique such as the "gum bichromate" in the digital and analog photography class with fifth semester students has been taking place. Qualitative research is addressed using case studies with a 15 university students focus group. The purpose was to demonstrate the use of traditional techniques of photography as both artistic and visual records, in the study of image as well as the aesthetic and graphic scope. In the analysis carried out, the importance of dynamics associated to traditional techniques of appropriation and the redefinition of the mid-ninetienth century photography in building knowledge and the plastic and visual language for professional design were evident.
