Course Description: This course is intended for
students wishing to add the element of color to their
work in photography. Early projects will be designed to
help students make the transition from shooting images
for black and white to seeing with color film in mind.
Slide presentations and discussions will be offered to
help students recognize the multitude of possibilities
the use of color provides for making exciting
photographs.

Supplies
List:Photographic
material/supplies: You are expected to have a 35mm
camera that permits manual adjustment of shutter speeds
and apertures. You will also be required to purchase
your own b/w film and paper for the class.
You will shoot a minimum of 15 and likely up to 25
rolls of 24 or 36 exposure film. Unless you are set on
a particular film I would suggest a 400 ASA or 125 ASA
film to start (for black and white film, use one of the
following: Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5, HP4). I will tell
you when to use 400 ASA or 125 ASA film. The cost of
the film varies depending on the type. You will
typically spend 3 to 6 euro for each roll of film.
Photographic paper also varies in cost. The cost for a
box of 50 sheets is 44 euros 7x9 1/2 in size.
Purchase 25 rolls black and white film (Kodak Tri-X or
Ilford HP5, HP4, 125 ASA, 400 ASA). You can purchase
your rolls of film in bulk at the beginning of the
semester or as you have each assignment.
Purchase (for starters) a box of 50 sheets of “7 x
91/2” black and white paper (Ilford Multigrade RC,
pearl surface, glossy or matte finish).
Purchase 25 Negative sleeves. Negative sleeves are .24
cents each.Each student
will receive a binder, there is no charge for the
binders.Purchase a
large folder or envelope for turning in photo projects.
The folder can be purchase at a stationery store for
under 4 euros.
Purchase a journal book. A journal book of your choose
can range anywhere from 2,50 to 12 euros.
Purchase a towel (used for the darkroom and developing
film). A towel can be purchased at the supermarket for
less than 5 euros.Purchase an
apron (I suggest not wearing “good clothing” on the
days that you will be working in the darkroom or
developing film). An apron can be purchase at San
Lorenzo market or at a supermarket for less than 5
euros.

hardware store for less than 5 euros.
You must have, an apron, rubber gloves, and a towel.
The purchase of these materials is for your safety when
developing film and working with the chemistry in the
darkroom.
