Pinhole Camera Photography (Online Class)
Pinhole Camera Photography (Online Class)
Instructor: Thad Kubis
Day & Time: Tuesdays, 3–4:30pm
Dates: June 16 – July 7, 2020
Meetings: 4
Location: Online via Zoom
Work with photographer Thad Kubis to build and use your own pinhole camera using household items like boxes, shoeboxes, food containers, oatmeal canisters, etc. and then process your images from home.
In this four-meeting workshop, we will learn the inner workings of pinhole cameras to construct our own, explore exposure, make a jacket into a darkroom, create images, and process either paper or film using coffee, wine, Vitamin C and other easy-to-get products and examine the results.
Materials:
Something to make the camera with (this can include anything from food boxes, oatmeal canisters, paper towel tube, Altoid tins, etc.)
duct tape
razor (x-acto/box cutter)
clean soda can
ruler
pencil
scissors
smartphone or tablet
pad to take notes
photographic paper/film and the “processing” agents needed will be discussed during first class and are not necessary for purchase in advance

Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
Tuition
To make these classes as accessible as possible to everyone, we are offering each class with the option to select how much you want to pay. No matter which option you choose, you'll join the same class as everyone else. We trust that you will support IS183 with whatever you can afford, and encourage you to support the school with an additional donation during this challenging time, if possible.
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
