Photographs are a visual expression of a concept or a simple documentation of an artist's expressions. Photography explores through a technical medium the relation between the real and the artificial. In this introductory class students will learn the basics of visual storytelling through black and white photography. Through the theme of the self, students will shoot, process, and print their work that will comprise their end-of-term portfolio. Shooting a number of rolls on 35mm cameras, students will produce weekly contact sheets from which they will cull their best photographs, all of which are self-reflective in subject matter. Other work is comprised of a process book in which they brainstorm and reflect on the learning experience, mistakes, and breakthroughs. Students are expected to participate in class by critiquing the works of others and listening to critiques of their work. Students gain insight into the concept of perception, that of others and their own, and how we all make meaning from this imagery.

Developing Film

1.) Pour Water (Clear): Water allows the developer to work better. Agitate to make spread to all of the film 10 times then tap the cylinder so the bubbles go away. (GENTLY)

2.) Empty the water, hold the lid so it wont fall off.

3.) Pour Developer (Black): Set the timer for 10:36, agitate 10 times every 30 seconds.

4.) Pour the Developer into the sink with running water (will crystalize) or put it back into the large container.

5.) Pour Stop (Blue): Agitate ten times (just water to clean film)

6.)Empty the stop.

7.) Pour Fix (Red): Shows the clarity of the film and fully develops it. Agitate for 7 minutes every minute.

8.) Pour fix into the red container. And then into the large container to re-use.

9.) Put the film in sink and rinse

10) Clean everything and don't leave a mess.
