Residency Project
This class brings history of photography to life, in a hands-on experience that brings together art, and science into an interactive forum. Students in this class will learn the basic concepts of photography and the camera, by discovering how to make a camera obscura and pinhole cameras. Students will load cameras with light sensitive photographic paper, compose and take a photo. Students will then process the exposed paper in the darkroom and experience an image reveal itself in front of their eyes as a negative. Finally they will scan and create a positive image they can then email and share. This class is design for children or beginners, all the way to seasoned photographers and can be tailored to any learning level. Instruction and construction for children focuses on the concepts, principals and history, while advanced students are taught the science and mathematics involved in making a camera. Students will use formula to take the highest quality image possible and develop a metering system for future photography. Advanced students also mix chemistry and handle developing of their own images, where younger students are guided through the process and get to watch the images develop.
