C2 – Multi-toned Cyanotypes and the Photogram
Ten enlargers and 25 students? Extend your curriculum outside the darkroom. No cameras, darkroom or film needed for making multi-toned cyanotypes–just running water! Cyanotypes may be integrated with painting, printmaking and computer-generated images. Suitable for any grade level, using readily available materials, create alternative negatives, stencils, and photocopied acetates.
Presenter: Frances Patella, Artist/Educator
C3 – Yearbook 101
Make your yearbook production much easier, save time, and improve your results. You will work hands-on with Photoshop and InDesign to fully understand the numerous time-saving and automation techniques available with these powerful applications. You wil also explore the creative possibilities open to you, including the proper use of Pantone colours in your yearbook.
Presenter: Tim Scanlon, Scantex
C4 – Basics of Documentary Filmmaking In the Classroom
This session will examine what makes a good student documentary and how you can effectively bring movie-making into your classroom. The first part will examine the content-driven documentary, looking at alternative media and formats that can be used to tell student stories. In part two, you will work with the video equipment and video editing software (iMovie).
Presenter: Wade Vroom, Educator/Filmmaker
C5 – Playing with Light: Pinhole Photography
There is nothing more gratifying than making your own camera, taking photos and developing them all in one workshop. Using simple materials learn to construct a pinhole camera and use basic black-and-white processing to make unique prints. A slide lecture explores the use of low-tech photography in art – from da Vinci to David Hockney.
Presenter: Dianne Bos, Artist
C6 – Digital Fictions: Advanced Photoshop
Participants will be led through a series of Photoshop projects that cover a wide gamut of image compositing techniques and effects, and explore the creative possibilities of digital imaging. Emphasis will be placed on the creation of imaginary photos and realistic images using masking and compositing techniques. Starting with selection and path making tools we will progress to masks, and channels, as well as effects and colour manipulations. Participants should have a strong background in Photoshop.
Presenter:Rafael Goldchain, Sheridan
C7 – Black-and-White Printing
This workshop encourages those with basic black-and-white darkroom skills to improve their abilities through a day of practice and discussion. Participants will receive individual attention. The challenge of creating high-quality prints will be covered. Participants should bring their own negatives (a choice of five or more is recommended). RC paper and chemicals will be supplied.
Presenter: Ruth Kaplan, Artist/Educator
C8 – The Portrait: From Lighting to Retouching
From its beginnings photography has been concerned with preserving our memories and rendering visual our dreams. In no area is this more true than in portraiture. Portraits invest public figures with power and presence; they are carried in our wallets to keep our loved ones close; they introduce us to a world of faces we would otherwise never meet. In this portraiture workshop, lighting will be studied as a way to convey the unique vision of photographers, and their relationship to their subjects. Portrait retouching will be explored as a means to enhance the final result.
Presenter: David White and Kristy Depper, Sheridan
