Mr. Matt Bieber
10-12 grade; Offered as a year-long course
Prerequisites: none
This course will introduce students to the art of black and white photographic image making and printing. Students will learn to see and appreciate light in a new way, to see and design shapes in the frame, to make fine black and white prints, and to finish those to the matted presentation. Students will learn to properly expose film, how to develop that film, and how to make beautiful exhibition quality black and white prints. This is not merely a technical course, however. The most important thing to bring away from this course is a new sense of seeing. The student should be able to have a finer appreciation of light in its many forms, to discover meaning in images rather than words, or most importantly, to know how to make images important and powerful in their own right, rather than merely "taking pictures."
