This course covers many aspects of darkroom photography from historical processes and traditional film development, to modern applications of analog input to digital output. Students learn how to compose a dynamic photograph and utilize film camera settings for ideal exposures, how to process black and white film, how to make gelatin silver prints in the darkroom, and how to analyze and discuss photography throughout history.

Studio Art
|
During this course students are exploring the creative process as artist do in the real world. Experimenting with the art media and techniques, and analyzing how to best express an idea, emotion, or concept visually is emphasized. Students in studio art are currently exploring mixed media collage, and are developing ideas for a collage based on "Identity". The art of Robert Raushenberg is a jumping off point for inspiration.
