Learning Goals
It is the objective of this curricular unit to continue the curricular unit that precedes it and deepen the general
understanding of what photography is and broaden the competences in the technical field and in photographic
practice.
It is intended that the pupil acquire knowledge of the main aspects of photography portrait, architecture, selfrepresentation,
landscape, travel photography and documentary. In addition to this knowledge it is intended
that the pupil acquire key concepts of analogical photography with the main focus on the darkroom, which
crosses the interest of the plastic arts, accompanying artistic movements from its appearance to the contemporary
era.
It is intended that the pupil acquire the knowledge of the darkroom, the notions of revelation of films, pinhole,
enlarger, photograms and chemistry. The pupil should acquire the basic knowledge of the history of photography
in its relationship with the darkroom seeking the pupils to recognise their most notable representatives. It
is also intended to sensitize the percentages to laboratory processes that were used by several artists, such as
daguerreotypes or rayograms.

Contents
In theoretical sessions it will be addressed the initiation to the history of photography in its relationship with the
darkroom having as reference its most notable representatives.
In theoretical and practical sessions will be addressed the theme of the darkroom, the revelation of films, Pinhole,
Magnifier, Photograms and chemistry. It is also intended to sensitize the percentages to laboratory processes
that were used by several artists, such as Daguerreotypes or Radiograms.
It is intended that the knowledge of the digital photographic camera, the pixel and its correspondence with
analogical photography is interconnected with the use of digital imaging programs.
Synthesis:
a) - Theoretical themes-history: Initiation to the history of photography in its relationship with the darkroom
b) - Technical themes: development of printing techniques in analogue and digital laboratory.
- Analogical laboratory: rules in a darkroom, chemistry production, enlarger domain, photographic paper and
revealing tank.
- Magnifier, tank of revelation
- Evolution of printing processes
- Photograms
- Pinhole
c) - Formats-Analogical and digital
d) - Practical themes: performing practical exercises, from the theoretical content.

Teaching Methods
In the NORMAL SEASON assessment students may choose one of two schemes: Continuous or Final Assessment.
The SPECIAL and EXTRAORDINARY assessments are governed by the Final Evaluation scheme.
1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME COMPONENTS
a. Class participation: 20%;
b. Work developed during the period with the aid of the teacher, which must be submitted, at least, to a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40%;
c. Presentation and defense of the work developed during the classes, which occurs during the "Regular Season Evaluations": 40%.
The student's final grade, which will appear on the Normal Season students exams list, is the sum of a), b) and c).
2. FINAL EVALUATION SCHEME COMPONENTS
a. Work developed during the period with the teacher's aid: 40%;
b. Examination based on the contents taught: 60%.
The student's final grade, which will appear on the Normal Season students exams list, is the sum of a) and b).
