OPEN TO SOPHOMORES, JUNIORS AND SENIORS

This is an introductory course in black and white photography.  Students will learn the techniques and skills associated with manual cameras, black and white film developing, enlarging, printing and dry mounting.  Concepts like light, composition, contrast, depth, angles, patterns, textures and content will be explored with each assignment as appropriate.  At the completion of each assignment students will be expected to participate in a class critique.  Throughout the course students will be introduced to a variety of photographers and their styles by viewing slides, videos, movies, and books, and by doing research and giving a presentation to the class on the work of a famous photographer of their choice.   Although not required, it would be helpful to have use of a manual 35mm camera.  Students who do not have access to a camera may borrow one from the school.
