Prerequisites: Prerequisite: Art I or application and portfolio review This course explores the ways students apply the language of art in producing fine art photographs. Primary experiences will center around the use of a 35mm single lens reflex camera, film processing, darkroom techniques, print manipulation, and the presentation of work for specific purposes. Technical skills evolve through the introduction of pinhole photography and contact printings while refining personal and conceptual ideas. Experiences throughout the course will include composing, exposing, processing, enlarging images in the darkroom, and photographic digital imaging processes. This course is recommended for students who have demonstrated an ability to work successfully at a demanding pace. Emphasis is placed on creative problem solving, independent research, and task commitment, while developing a portfolio that reflects a diverse breadth of photographic experiences.
