How have contemporary photographers integrated alternative photographic processes into the visual arts? 300 2. How can different format cameras, paper, and chemistry affect the visual outcome? 300 3. How can photographic imagery be layered on one surface? 300 400 This unit emphasizes photographic communication using the elements of art and the principles of design, media and techniques such as advanced silver gelatine print techniques, digital inkjet print, historical photographic processing techniques, different format camera operations and mechanics, advanced roll and sheet film developing, composition, the processes of problem solving, creative thinking, and communicating ideas, photographic history and cultures, and archival processing and the presentation of photographs. 400 500 Students in Advanced Photography will devel0p the ability to: 500 500 -- interpret, select, and choose the qualities that make a fine photographic image, 500 -- operate the camera and apply its operation to specific visual outcomes, 500 -- apply different media, techniques, and processes with sufficient skill, confidence, and sensitivity, 500 -- examine and apply historical to contemporary processes of photography as a means to communicate an idea, 500 -- describe, analyse, interpret, and evaluate their own photography as well as others, 500 -- apply photographic emulsions to different types of paper surfaces, 500 -- print photographs using traditional darkroom printing methods, historical printing methods, and comtemporary printing methods, 500 -- apply problem-solving methods to evaluate technical outcomes. 500 600 All students will: 600 600 -- explore different approaches to composition and aesthetics as it relates to photography, 600 -- apply a variety of photographic printing techniques, 600 -- apply a variety of film-developing techniques, 600 -- explore and use additive and alternative photographic print techniques, 600 -- research different genres in photographic history, 600 -- recieve feedback on their own photographs, 600 -- critique other students' photographs as well as reflect on their own through written and oral experiences, 600 -- apply different methods to present a photograph. 700 1. Homework is used as a formative and summative evaluation tool. 700 2. Quizzes and tests are used to access concrete information such as vocabulary, equipment use, and procedures. 700 3. Project evaluations may take the form of group critiques, rating scales, checklists, written evaluations, and teacher interviews. 700 4. A portfolio demonstrates skills learned and personal, aesthetic growth. The body of work stands as a visual record of the creative process experienced throughout the semester. 700 5. Group discussions give insight into the creative process and problem solving, providing an avenue for learning, how to talk about art, how to view art, and how to improve one's skills.
