usually take place in Art-8 on the MC campus. Art-8 is located just
southeast of the MC Theatre front entrance. The lecture and dark rooms
occupy 1,600 square feet in the Arts Division. The lecture room converts
into a fully-equipped studio for commercial and portrait sessions.
The darkroom has 12 black & white enlargers, six film-processing darkrooms,
three color printing rooms and a finishing area. All students learn
to develop negatives, process color slides, and print from both black
& white and color films. |

is taught with Norman strobes attached to 35mm, medium format, or
4x5 cameras. Beginning students usually work with 35mm films, while
advanced students have their choice of 35mm, 120, or 4x5. Studio photographers
learn to create images and maintain total control over lighting. |
Digital

12 computers equipped with Adobe Photoshop software and a new class,
Art 40A--Digital Art, is required for the Photo AA degree.
