PHO3022 SpTp: Photography II

The foundational question of this course is “why make it that way?” While building upon skills students acquired in PHO2021 we will explore materials available to the photographic medium. Starting with a refresher in digital methods, we will quickly move to the darkroom to discover silver and non-silver processes and explore how all of these techniques can be combined. This course emphasizes the relevance of form and meaning, and why it is important to choose a process intentionally. We will maintain a continued exploration of historical and contemporary art while building a lexicon of photographic terminology and technique. Students will acquire skills through extensive guided and independent studio work, project critiques, assigned and discussed readings, and written assignments. Students will be required to work with Adobe and other software through the MAC OS and work safely in a photographic darkroom with chemistry. Students must have completed PHO2021 with a grade of C or higher. Lab/material fees are applied to this course. Credits: 3
