This six day intensive workshop is designed to introduce students to the beautiful and versatile world of gum bichromate printing. One of the earliest photographic printing processes, gum printing utilizes a contact negative to produce delicate, painterly images that use watercolor paint as the pigment in their emulsions. The basic process is simple and fun. It is a great way to transform your digital or film images into permanent works of art.
Class will cover all aspects of the gum process: paper preparation, negative preparation and printing. Students should bring three to five images or a selection of digital image files to the first class.

The LineStorm Animation Digital FlipBook Project rekindles the thrill of discovery in the basics of animation. We create the moments in time and space when one image changes into the next, when animation happens. LineStorm concentrates on three fundamental phases of animation: (1) the intellectual phase, when animators consider the range of possibilities in developing frame-by-frame visuals; (2) the practical production phase, when we create the actual imagery; (3) the wrap-up phase, when animators wrestle with timelines, pipelines and deadlines to complete the project. We’ll have a great time exploring, through hands-on exercises, a wide array of animation tools and skills as we build a group hand-drawn animation project (topic to be decided) to which everyone will contribute sequences. The LineStorm approach works wonders: past projects in this class have won First Prize at the Cambridge Science Festival and at the Made-at-M.I.T. Media Spectacle! We’ll upload our final project to YouTube for the entire MIT community to enjoy.
