Photography II (Grades 11–12)
Group II Course Number 806
Units: 1/2 Offered: Fall and Spring Semesters
Prerequisite: Photography I
Requirements: Students must furnish their own 35mm SLR cameras, b/w film, and photographic paper. Because one main objective of this course is to understand and utilize the camera, cameras with fixed focus lenses and cameras without a manual mode are not suitable.
The student must possess a working knowledge of darkroom techniques and the use of a 35mm camera. This course elaborates on the development of a basic knowledge of the elements of design. Aesthetic awareness is emphasized through the use of photographic expression. Students will work with a variety of alternative techniques in this course, creating projects with orthographic film, color slide film, Polaroid transfers, and hand-coloring techniques. In addition, this course will introduce students to color photography and the basics of color printing. Some assignments may require students to shoot on location; therefore, a driver’s license or transportation is required.
