Topic: ICP Power of the Color Image: Exploring Color in and our of the Darkroom

Catalog description

Ultimately, the best way to learn to see color in photography is by printing in the color darkroom. This course teaches students how to unleash the power of color in their work by integrating instruction in aesthetics and technique into printing sessions, class critiques, and lectures on color photography. By printing negatives on ICP's automated Kreonite processor, students have an opportunity to learn how color works in a hands-on way that just isn't possible in the digital lab. Many photographers prefer printing from color negative film because of its flexibility, simplicity, and the superb reproduction of both subtle and brilliant colors. Students who move on to digital image making later always find they have an advantage over those who have never made an analog C­ print. In addition to attending all class sessions, students are required to attend three lectures or exhibitions at ICP and write three 2-page double-spaced typewritten response/review papers and turn these in to the Pace ICP Coordinator.
