Pinhole Cameras and
Photographs |
|
|
The Photographic and Digital Imaging course was first offered at Hastings High School in the Fall of 2001. The course provides an unusual approach to the creation and manipulation of the photographic image. The class starts with the construction of pinhole cameras made out of foamcore. This primitive approach allows students to explore the exposure and darkroom fundamentals of film-based photography. Students go on to traditional 35mm camera and negative enlarging techniques, then study digital capture and editing for the second half of the course. Throughout the course students analyze the mystery of photography, the nature of its truth, and the power of the individual artist's vision and viewpoint. |
