An introductory course concentrating on the fundamentals of operating and understanding a camera: black and white film processing and printmaking techniques, and the use of the camera as a tool of creative expression. Assignments in landscape, portraiture, and still life will be used to introduce a broad range of photographic problems.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 15. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Beahan, Miller.

30. Photography II
06F, 07W, 07S, 07F, 08W, 08S: 2A
An intermediate course of wide-ranging assignments in black and white including architecture, portraiture, landscape, and still life as subject matter. Class problems will cover printing papers, negative contrast controls, toning, and other techniques of darkroom work.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 29. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Beahan, Miller.

73. Photography III
06F, 07W, 07S, 07F, 08W, 08S: 2A
A single problem will constitute the term’s work. The student will have the opportunity to concentrate on one subject, to investigate new techniques of photographic craft, and to employ the camera as a means toward the making of a personal, creative statement. Can be repeated for credit.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 30. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Miller, Beahan.

76. Senior Seminar I
07W, 07S, 08W, 08S: 10A, 2A
The first half of the two-term culminating experience in Studio Art. The seminar is devoted to developing critical skills and a body of work predicated upon a student’s ability to conceive, structure, sustain, and resolve an individual course of study in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, or architecture. Work will be reviewed by the faculty and an outside examiner.
Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART.

77. Senior Seminar II
07W, 07S, 08W, 08S: 10A, 2A
A continuation of Studio Art 76, with the additional expectation that each student will present at the conclusion of the term the body of work which will be his/her thesis. The thesis must be judged by the Studio Art faculty to be technically and aesthetically sound. From this work a selection will be made for the senior exhibition. Continuous individual and group critiques will be given of student work by the principal instructor, Department faculty, and visiting artists.
Prerequisites: Studio Art 76. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART.
