Photography (3502P) (Period 2)

Grade Level: 10-12 SEMESTER/ 1.000 credit(s)

Prerequisite: One full credit in Art I

 

Alternative approaches to photography will be explored by making homemade cameras and photographs without the use of a traditional camera. Traditional black and white photography will be explored. Students will spend time learning about the history of photography, camera operations, and darkroom procedures. Manual, single lens reflex, 35mm cameras will be used for taking photographs. Students not owning cameras will have one camera available to share, but having one is strongly encouraged. Three-ring binders will be required to store negatives and notes on darkroom procedures. Time spent outside of school will be required of photography students. After school, photo lab hours will be available for students needing more time to finish assignments.
