ART 150 - Traditional Photography I

Credits: 3
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2
This is an introduction to the medium through the use of manual film cameras, light meters, black and white film processing and print enlarging. Craftsmanship is stressed. Students must have a manual film camera with manually adjustable lens openings, shutter speeds, and focus, as well as a working built in light meter. Photography courses require a substantial amount of student-purchased supplies, which may cost $200 or more, in addition to camera and text.
Notes: This course may be more suitable to those considering further work in photography, requiring a traditional film camera. For those wishing to take an introductory course that is digital and does not use film, please consider ART 157 - Digital Photography I.
