Last semester Art I students built their own Pinhole Cameras in class. We then set up an area as a darkroom to load the cameras. Students kept journals and took pictures while charting their progress as well as their mistakes during the process of taking pictures with their very own Pinhole Cameras. After using the shutters on their Pinhole Cameras to expose the light sensitive emulsion on the photo paper, we took the cameras into our darkroom and began to print paper negatives. The paper negatives can later be turned into positive prints in the same darkroom space. We had some success in the very short time that this process took place. And I am looking forward to continuing to instruct students on the Art of Photography.
