This course is designed to help amateur photographers improve the quality of their pictures and photographic skills. Students will be using a vast array of available dark room equipment and chemicals, as well as digital and manual cameras. This course will look extensively into the film developing process and its history. It is a hope that students who take this course are interested in it as a career option. Personal motivation and outside of school camera work is necessary. Reading and writing are an essential part of the course. Students are strongly encouraged to provide their own SLR manual camera, lenses and black and white film in addition to a $20 lab fee for a limited amount of paper and materials. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Digital Fine Art. Due to dark room limits, the course may have a maximum student cap.
This course may satisfy the Art graduation requirement (pending transcript review and prior approval from the Director of Guidance).
