ART 121 Photography I: An Introduction to Medium, Content and Context
This analog, film-based course introduces students to the fundamental principles of black and white photography, manual camera handling, film processing and darkroom techniques. Consideration of the picture content and composition will be emphasized. Viewing historic and contemporary photographic exhibitions will require students to think critically as they reflect through verbal and written responses. Students will engage in classroom discussions as part of the critique process to reinforce verbal skills as a critical method in responding to each other's photographic images. They develop an ability to articulate their creative intention through the crafting of a written artist statement. Students must provide their own 35mm film camera with adjustable aperture and shutter speed to the second class. Additional lab fee applies.
