Advanced Photography

Course Description
Levels II, III, & IV
 
Students will photograph, develop, and print a wide variety of quality photographic artworks to create a process portfolio (which will include a collection of finished art works, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts, notes, and critiques). They will study photographic history, the elements and principles of design, critiquing, and aesthetics (the appreciation of beauty). In Photography 2 students will increase their degree of technical proficiency in the use of the camera and darkroom equipment. In addition, they will work on increasingly more individual and independent projects that may focus on photojournalism, color slide preparation, experimental processes, layout and graphic applications, and/or computer graphics applications using up-to-date software. Students must supply their own 35mm camera with manual controls and must be able to fund $75.00 for photography supplies.
