WORKSHOPS

Instructor: Fran Osborn-Blaschke Day and Time: Wednesdays, 6:00-9:00 p.m. Dates: [10 weeks] 1/6 –3/10 Tuition: $365 for registration and payment in full received by 12/29/09 $400 for registration received after 12/29/09 This introductory course is designed to provide a foundation for students seeking to develop their color photography and color printing skills. In the course, students will be in the traditional color darkrooms, learning how to make traditional color photographs using color negatives, enlargers and the RA-4 process. Making strong color prints in the traditional darkroom or the digital darkroom requires a solid understanding of color. This workshop allows students to acquire the fundamental skills of color photography; most importantly, how to identify, correct and control color in image-making. Lectures include discussion of color theory, film and paper, and fine color balance control. The C-41 and RA-4 color processes will be discussed. Weekly group critiques will address technical and aesthetic issues of each individual student's color prints. Students are encouraged to bring any color negatives they have to the first class for example and evaluation. This course is a prerequisite for the Advanced Color workshop and is a complement to our digital arts workshops. http://www.nesop.com/workshops/Foundation.asp
