Course Description
|
Students will photograph, develop, and print a wide variety of quality
photographic art works to create a process portfolio (which will include a
collection of finished art works, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts,
notes, and critiques). They will study photographic history, the elements and
principles of design, critiquing, and aesthetics (the appreciation of beauty).
Student activities will include an introduction to the camera, film, darkroom
and developing processes, and special printing techniques. Students must supply
their own 35mm camera
with manual controls
and must be able to fund
approximately $75- $100 for photography supplies for each photography class.
In Photography II, III, and IV, students will increase their degree of technical
proficiency in the use of the camera and darkroom equipment. In addition, they
will work on increasingly more individual and independent projects which may
focus on photojournalism, color slide preparation, experimental processes,
layout and graphic applications, and/or computer graphics applications using
up-to-date software.
