   processes.

3.  Working in the laboratory, students will learn the procedures for

   developing transparency type color film.

4.  After observing demonstrations, individuals will develop the skills

   necessary for making color prints from both color negative and

   transparency material. Knowledge gained will include the use of

   film materials, both transparency and negative types, of specified

   subjects or situations. Transparencies will be viewed and critiqued

   in class. Color negatives will be the basis for prints made by

   individual students during laboratory sessions.
