The camera as a tool of expression and photography as a basic art form. Students are required to have their own cameras. This class teaches 35mm photography.
Students learn how to shoot, process negatives, and make black and white photographic prints.
While the technical aspect is important, it is important to remember that the primary goal of basic photo is to challenge students to see their world in new ways. Grading is based on a twelve print portfolio presented at the end term. Students are allowed two excused and two unexcused absences.
