MPPH241 Sophomore Studio II 6 cr

This required sophomore course is the second in the progression of major studio/hybrid seminars in photography. The course builds upon the base of knowledge students gained about black and white analog photography in Sophomore Studio I. Advanced B&W darkroom techniques and fine silver gelatin printing are emphasized. The class concentrates on the use of diverse analog camera formats. Weekly assignments and critiques familiarize students with the importance of this equipment in contemporary practice as well as in the history of the medium. Slide presentations and field trips are combined with principles of optics, cameras, film, photographic chemistry and darkroom technique. Students are encouraged to experiment and take risks as they explore the expressive possibilities of the medium. [Formerly titled Sophomore Major Studio II]
