In Photo 1 students learn a primary understanding of photographic technique and theory. More specifically, photographic technique will include; basic 35mm camera operation, B&W film processing, and basic B&W printing. Photographic theory refers to the formal and conceptual issues surrounding photography as a fine art medium. These issues include; composition, content, print quality, etc. We will also touch on historical events and issues as they relate to the scope of our class.
Grading will be determined based on the development of each students work in the areas of technical achievement, quality of content, and composition over the course of the semester. In addition, student performance is evaluated according to behavior and attitude towards operating in a shared lab space. Things that affect the grade in this area include clean-up in the dark room and class work areas, concern for organization, and consideration for the property and equipment of others. In addition, grades will also take into account class participation, contribution during group critiques, and darkroom attendance.
Students of Photo 1 will be required to supply their own B&W film and paper. Chemistry and other miscellaneous supplies will be provided by school. Students will need to purchase 10-15 rolls of 24 exposure, ASA 400, 35mm Film. Specific brands that may be used are:
DARKROOM / LAB:
The darkroom is shared among several classes. Often, when work is left there in the morning, it can get thrown away or lost if transported out of the darkroom to make room for other students. DO NOT leave work in the lab overnight, unless you are the last person working there. Even then, you should go in early the next morning to pick up your work so it doesn't get picked up by someone else. There will be group assignments so you know when your time is scheduled for lab work, and when you can count on taking photos. Almost every effort will be made to accommodate scheduling problems, however the darkroom will be closed each day at 4PM. This means that if you are are in there working, you need to be finished and cleaned up by 4PM and no later.
It is extremely important to remember that the darkroom and other photo items are shared resources. If you can't find something, ask members of your core group BEFORE ASKING ME! Do not wait until last minute to get your processing and prints done. This creates a rush in the lab and often means overcrowding, which leads to work getting damaged and even ruined. Minimally, 20% of your grade alone is based on clean-up. More importantly, everyone will have a better time learning if they respect the property and space.
Ofisi #: ext. 292 E-mail Ms. HELLYER (hakikisha kujumuisha jina lako!) Katika picha ya kwanza, wanafunzi hujifunza uelewa wa msingi wa mbinu na nadharia ya upigaji picha. Kwa mfano, teknolojia ya picha ya 35mm, uchapishaji wa filamu ya B&W, na uchapishaji wa msingi wa B&W. Nadharia ya picha inahusu masuala ya rasmi na ya dhana inayozunguka upigaji picha kama njia nzuri ya sanaa. Masuala haya ni pamoja na; muundo, maudhui, ubora wa uchapishaji, nk. Pia tutazungumzia matukio na masuala ya kihistoria yanayohusiana na somo letu. Grading itakuwa kuamua kulingana na maendeleo ya kila wanafunzi kazi katika maeneo ya mafanikio ya kiufundi, ubora wa maudhui, na utungaji katika kipindi cha muhula. Kwa kuongezea, utendaji wa mwanafunzi unathaminiwa kulingana na tabia na mtazamo wa kufanya kazi katika nafasi ya maabara iliyoshirikiwa. Mambo yanayoathiri alama katika eneo hili ni pamoja na kusafisha katika chumba chenye giza na maeneo ya kazi ya darasa, kujali kwa shirika, na kuzingatia mali na vifaa vya wengine. Kwa kuongezea, maksi pia zitazingatia ushiriki wa darasa, mchango wakati wa ukosoaji wa kikundi, na kuhudhuria chumba cha giza. Wanafunzi wa picha ya kwanza watahitajika kutoa filamu yao ya B&W na karatasi. Kemia na vifaa vingine vitakavyotumiwa vitapatikana na shule. Kwa mfano, unaweza kununua filamu ya 24x24 na filamu ya ASA 400 ya 35mm. Kwa mfano, kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, darkroom ni darkroom ya kawaida ambayo hutumiwa na watu wengi. Mara nyingi, kazi inapoachwa huko asubuhi, inaweza kutupwa au kupotea ikiwa inasafirishwa nje ya chumba cha giza ili kufanyia wanafunzi wengine nafasi. Usiiache kazi katika maabara usiku kucha, isipokuwa kama wewe ni mtu wa mwisho kufanya kazi huko. Hata hivyo, unapaswa kwenda mapema asubuhi ya siku inayofuata kuchukua kazi yako ili isiwe imechukuliwa na mtu mwingine. Kuna kazi za kikundi, hivyo unaweza kujua wakati unaopangwa kwa ajili ya kazi ya maabara, na wakati unaweza kutegemea kuchukua picha. "Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, ""kila juhudi itafanywa ili kukabiliana na matatizo ya ratiba, hata hivyo chumba cha giza kitatumwa kila siku saa 4 jioni.""" Hii inamaanisha kuwa ikiwa unafanya kazi, unapaswa kumaliza na kusafisha kabla ya saa 4 jioni na sio baadaye. Ni muhimu sana kukumbuka kwamba chumba cha giza na vitu vingine vya picha ni rasilimali za pamoja. Ikiwa huwezi kupata kitu, uliza washiriki wa kikundi chako cha msingi KABLA ya kuniuliza! Usisubiri hadi dakika ya mwisho ili kupata uchapishaji wako na uchapishaji kufanyika. Hii hutokeza msongamano katika maabara na mara nyingi humaanisha msongamano mkubwa, ambao husababisha kazi kuharibiwa na hata kuharibiwa. Kwa mfano, asilimia 20 ya alama yako ya kwanza inategemea utayarishaji. Jambo la muhimu zaidi ni kwamba kila mtu atafurahia kujifunza zaidi ikiwa ataheshimu mali na nafasi.
