This introductory course emphasizes the use photography as a tool for artistic
expression. Students will build skills using a manual-operation camera,
processing B&W film, creating silver-based photographic prints in the darkroom,
and in acquiring basic digital processing and printing techniques in colour
photography. Photography is presented as a medium for communication through
in-class discussion, analysis and interpretation.
Classes will consist of lectures, demonstrations, lab and studio time, individual
consultation and group critiques. Through assigned projects, students will
organize visual information, create metaphors with photographic imagery, relate
images to each other, cultivate a personal style, and refine their technical
expertise and ability to read, understand and critique photographic imagery.
Written work will focus on the description and interpretation of photographic
works. Group critiques will provide students with the opportunity to seek and to
offer feedback and support.
In order to successfully complete this course you must:
1)
Attend all classes punctually.
2)
Students are responsible for all material and information provided in class
and must comply with the dates and Assignments given. The student is
responsible for keeping up with class activities if he/she has missed a
class. Term work must be submitted by the assigned date.
3)

certificate, death certificate, etc) should be reported through ROSI and be
accompanied by an absence declaration.
4)
Utilize assigned studio and lab times.
5)

0Honesty&Searchstring=Academic%20Honesty
Academic Honesty
The principle of academic honesty requires that all work submitted for evaluation
and course credit be the original, unassisted work of the student. Cheating or
plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on work,
except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty member, or
otherwise submitting work that is not the student’s own violates this principle and
will not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including assisting
another student to cheat, will be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.

Health Hazards & Basic Safety Precautions in Photography
Photographic processes use a variety of chemicals to which individuals are more
or less sensitive. These sensitivities can be aggravated by physical contact
through solutions and through inhaling fumes and powders. Sensitivities may
also be aggravated by extended time spent exposed to photo chemistry.
Initial responses may be subtle and include reactions such as: 'flu-like'
symptoms, skin rashes, eye infections from chemistry splashes, colds that don't
seem to go away, and various other allergy reactions. Monitor your response to
determine if you have any of these symptoms and if they are related to your
exposure to photo chemistry.
Personal Safety Equipment
For Processing Film:
1. (Rubber) Gloves. Film processing primarily occurs within a closed tank however, pouring
chemistry in and out of the tank makes you vulnerable to splashing chemistry on to your hands.
Rinse the outside of the processing tank with water if you splash chemistry during the procedure.
For Printing — Tray Processing:
1. (Rubber) Gloves.

2. Tongs.
Rubber tipped tongs are useful for taking prints in and out of chemical solutions. Never put your
hands directly into the chemicals as some of them will irritate the skin. Indicate on the
handle of the tongs, what you are using them for, i.e., Developer, Stop, Fix, Wash, so that you
don't pollute your chemicals in subsequent sessions.
More detailed information about specific photo chemicals and their potential hazards can be
found in:

Absence Policy
Penalties for Lateness
Late Assignments
Studio projects due throughout the term work must be submitted by the assigned
date. A penalty of 10% per week of lateness up to and including work submitted on
the last day of the term will be applied by the Instructor. Studio projects that are
more than three weeks late will not be accepted.
Procedures and Rules
Missed Term Work, Tests and Extensions

Extensions or deferred tests (including the final exam) can only be granted
because of dire circumstances (severe illness, death of a loved one, etc.). We
cannot make allowances because of work schedules, pre-arranged holidays,
and so on.

Student absences must be declared on ROSI. Supporting documentation is
required (e.g. U of T medical certificate, death certificate, etc.).

Students who missed a test due to circumstances beyond their control (e.g.
illness, or an accident), can request that the Department grant them special
consideration.
All requests for make-up tests and for extended time to submit term work
beyond the last day of classes, must be submitted within 48hours from the
date of the missed test or assignment. Requests must be submitted on a
special form obtained from the DVS Office or www.utm.utoronto.ca/dvs and
submitted to theProgram Administrative Officerin the Sheridan Faculty of
Animation, Arts and Design (A100)within one week from due date. If you submit
medical documentation make sure it contains the statement "This student was
unable to write the test (or submit term work by thelast day of classes, if
applicable) on (date) for medical reasons". You MUST see your physician on the
day of the missed test or the day later or your request will be denied. A
statement merely acknowledging a report of illness made by the student to the
physician is NOT acceptable. For further information on this procedure visit
www.utm.utoronto.ca/dvs
Should anillness prevent you from submitting your form to the office in person
within 48 hours, emailing your documents will be accepted. This is on the
