Before arriving to Photo 3, students have previously developed a set of intermediate level skills in either film or digital photography. In this course, students will focus on storytelling and conveying a message, emotion, or theme in their works. Students will have access to both a black and white processing darkroom, with 14 enlarger stations, and a Mac Lab with 15 computers and Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. Students will utilize their skills in new ways, learn additional techniques, work in a studio setting, and participate in class critiques to grow as photographers. Students will be challenged to take on advanced photographic projects. Experimental techniques and advanced processes will be explored. Students will be able to work in large formats and will be asked to use skills developed in previous courses to create advanced works of art.
Photo 3 is a 0.5 credit alternate day course
This course does not fulfill the art graduation requirement.
There are two tracks students can take to get to Photo three. They can take either of the following course pairs:
Photo 1 & Photo 2
Digital Photography & Advanced Digital Photography
Students will work with a variety of photographic materials, both digitally (on Mac Computers) and in darkroom. This includes, but is not limited to: sunprints, image transfers, transparency paper, Photoshop, Lightroom, large-format printing, studio equipment, tripods, film cameras, and digital cameras.
Students must purchase a 1inch three-ring binder (can use their binder from previous photo courses)
Students are not required to purchase a camera but it is highly recommended that students at this advanced level have their own camera.
