- We will use them to draw/paint so we become familiar with how they work
- The drawing/painting practices are simple and easy for anyone to do
- We will learn the shortcuts and options for each tool
- We will learn to import images as references or as part of the painting

Beginners 12 and over will learning the basics of a film camera including:
- types of film cameras
- how lenses work
- understanding light and movement
- loading film
In between weeks 1 and 2, students will explore the world around them by making images on a single roll of film. Here, patience and planning are your friend.
In week 2, we will develop the film negatives. This will take a little time and there are a bunch of steps we need to follow carefully.
In between weeks 2 and 3, the instructor will scan the negatives and place the images on a (student provided) USB drive
In week 3, we will have an art show and class critique of images, form, and light.
Inexpensive plastic cameras (no controls, so light and movement are very important!) will be loaned to the student. A single roll of film will be given to the student: the student will receive the images on their USB drive and the negatives in a special sleeve. The development chemistry will be provided by the instructor.
Students will provide the USB drive and optionally should have a mask (if one has sensitivities to chemical smells) and non-latex gloves. Patience, an open eye, and a lot of fun will fill in the rest of the supplies.
