Introduction to Traditional Black & White Photography

In this course we will explore traditional black and white photography. Photography as a form of personal and artistic expression will be emphasized and various approaches to the medium will be explored through assignments and slide lectures. Students will learn technical aspects of exposure, development, and printing in a B&W darkroom. Students must provide their own 35mm film camera with manual controls. Each student will be required to contribute $100 towards the cost of materials. This course counts as an elective towards the major or minor in Studio Art.
