Summer Art Class

So, I decided today that I am going to take an art class over the summer. I am taking several that I mentioned before (I mentioned them, didn't I?) and I will still be taking those. I wanted to see if I could get back into photography, so I found out that Vanderbilt University offers 10-12 week long classes so I am going to take the Experimental Photography class at the Sarratt Art Studio. I will miss one week of it for Val's wedding, but I think that should be ok. I have a brownie, but I think I want to find another vintage 35mm camera to use. I would like to alternate between the two.

Here is a description of the class:

This class will focus on experimental cameras and printing techniques, while introducing students to the basics of taking a picture, processing film, and using the darkroom to make prints.  Students are encouraged to search their attics for vintage cameras and equipment they may already have.  Holgas, Dianas, and modern alternative cameras will also work.  Don’t have a camera?  Don’t fret.  We’ll spend the first night discussing your options and there will be a limited number of cameras to loan or buy.  We will also explore techniques that will allow you to take an image without even using a camera, like photograms, cyanotype, and pinhole.  No experience required, just curiosity!  A $30.00 lab fee covers the cost of your first pack of darkroom paper and use of the chemistry and facilities. Film and additional paper will be available for purchase in the studio. Class size is limited to 10 students.

Sign up starts on April 20. I hope I am able to get in. I want to do it so bad.
