Photography I (1 term, .5 credit)
Prerequisite: None
Level: Soph, Jr, Sr Elective
Fee: $50.00 (includes all supplies except camera)
What can you show us? Photography has the power to inspire,
educate, heal, document, explore, and enlighten. Through the lens
of a camera, we are able to create something that expresses a little bit of ourselves. In this course, you will learn how to capture and
control light using the camera and how to produce a quality print
with a photographic enlarger, darkroom techniques and proper
use of photographic chemicals. You will learn the importance of
composition and point of view when capturing an image and be
able to explore your own artistic “voice” through various projects.
In order to learn about exposure, depth of field, and film,
students will need to bring an adjustable 35mm single lens reflex
camera. Older manual cameras like the Pentax K1000, the Minolta
SRT101, or the Vivitar 3800 are great starter cameras. Automatic
cameras are ok if they have a manual mode and adjustable features.
In addition to traditional film photography, you will learn the basics
of digital photography and Adobe Photoshop so you will also need
access to a basic point and shoot digital camera. (Valees I131)
