This course is designed to teach students the basics of black and white photography. Students will learn how the camera operates and all of its parts. The process and craftmanship will have an important roll in this course. History and development of photography will be covered as well as analysis of thematic concent.

Students should have access to a 35 mm manual camera; one that is capable of having its aperture and shutter speed adjusted. Cameras with automatic functions in addition are acceptable, but these settings will not be used. Students will need to purchase their own film, photo paper and mounting supplies.

There is a $25 material donation requested per semester per student.

Photography 3
