Students learn how to use a camera, process film, and print black and white photographs. Aesthetic considerations in compositional form, lighting, and subject matter are demonstrated through the completion of several projects. Students maintain a portfolio of their work. This course is a continuation of Photography 1A. Advanced camera and darkroom techniques are demonstrated and discussed. Students mat or mount work for display.
Students continue portfolio development.
Students will incrementally continue their study in any courses beyond the first full year enrolled in the program. All of the studio art courses are geared toward students who desire to explore and refine their artistic skills. Special emphasis will be placed on transitioning to the Advanced Placement Studio Art Classes. These classes are the culmination of the APEX portfolio development attained through the student's planned sequence of courses. The Advanced Placement student may elect to complete the General Portfolio during the junior year, and the Drawing Portfolio during the senior year.
