ENROLLMENT PREFERENCE TO JUNIORS AND SENIORS
This is an introductory course in black and white photography. Students will learn the techniques and skills associated with manual and automatic 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. Students will also be introduced to the use of computers for scanning and transforming their photo images. Although not required, it would be helpful if students have use of a manual 35mm camera or an automatic or an instamatic camera that uses 35mm film. Students who do not have access to a camera may borrow one from the school. There is a $10.00 maintenance fee for the loaned camera.
