Creating black-and-white prints in a traditional darkroom requires an understanding of the relationship between light, chemical and silver-based materials (photographic film and paper). This class concentrates on the basics of film exposure, film development and the printing of negatives in a traditional ‘wet’ darkroom. The class will learn to make properly-exposed and -developed negatives. In the printing darkroom, students will work with resin-coated paper, learning to control contrast and denity, and exploring techniques such as dodging, burning and solarization. Safe, responsible darkroom habits are a critical part of the course curriculum. By semester’s end, each student will have produced a portfolio of black-and-white prints. Learning Outcomes Explain darkroom safety procedures Demonstrate solarization Demonstrate print mounting Expose and develop roll film to manufacturer’s specifications Demonstrate contact printing Demonstrate dodging and burning Demonstrate contrast control in printing Demonstrate RC enlarging techniques
