Introduction to Photography
"Intrinsic to photography is the pleasure of discovery. Both the process and the
results compel us to wonder, reflect, and reveal.
Whether capturing a moment of action
with the camera, watching an image appear in the darkroom, or noticing the play of
light and pattern in a photograph, learning photography is fascinating. By becoming image makers and image readers, students learn powerful communication and problem-solving skills and become more equipped to
navigate our increasingly challenging and visual culture."

Safety Information
Samples of the pinhole photo project are below.
Students created their own pinhole cameras with ordinary objects (such as coffee cans, cereal boxes, altoids cans etc...), and estimated timing of the exposure based on lighting conditions. They developed their paper negatives in the darkroom, and after producing a properly exposed paper negative, they made a contact print to create the positive image. Students dry mounted their positive and negative onto mat board to exhibit their work.
