Photography

This course is intended to introduce students to the art of black and white photographic image making and printing. Students will learn to see and appreciate light in a new way, learn to see and design shapes in the frame, and learn how to make fine black and white prints and finish them to the matted presentation. In this course, students will learn how to properly expose film, how to develop that film, and how to produce quality black and white prints. This is not merely a technical endeavor however. The most important thing students will bring away from this course is a new sense of seeing, to discover meaning in images rather than words, or most importantly, how to make images important and powerful in their own right, rather than merely "taking pictures”.
