Foundational Objectives
Common Essential Learnings Objectives
| Learning Objectives | Notes |
| 22.1 To identify the differences in technique between printing black and white photographs and colour photographs. |
Review techniques for black and white printing. Provide an overview of colour printing processes and techniques. |
| 22.2 To evaluate colour negatives to determine the negatives that will produce quality prints. (CCT) |
Have students evaluate the colours on their negatives and have them determine the colours that will be printed. Review negative care with regard to storage, handling, and selection. |
| 22.3 To list the chemicals and describe the reaction of the chemicals with the paper in developing the colour print. |
The students must be aware of and follow the precautions/procedures that are required for development of colour print. The students should understand the role of each chemical in each step of the process. |
| 22.4 To describe the operation of a print processing machine. (COM) |
If possible, arrange to tour a facility that uses a 1 hour processing system. The equipment used is very automated and does not allow for custom work to be done to finished prints, but it is valuable for students to see how the equipment works.
As a comparison, visit a custom colour processing company that does custom specialty printing and processing, one negative at a time (as opposed to processing one roll at a time). |
| 22.5 To produce a test print. (TL) |
Have students follow the manufacturer's recommendations for enlarger colour settings when attempting to determine exposure times. |
| 22.6 To evaluate a test print and make colour corrections as necessary. |
Have students alter one of magenta or yellow of the three colour settings. Cyan is usually left at zero. Then evaluate the results. This process requires the greatest amount of the student's time, but is a most valuable and important skill. |
| 22.7 To print a colour negative and produce a finished print. (TL) |
Have students produce a print of the same negative in two different sizes to demonstrate the ability to make enlarger and time adjustments to yield similar colour saturation results. |

| 23.1 To list the types of enterprises operated by commercial photographers. (COM) |
Have students gather information about different types of commercial photography. Examples might include photographers who produce stock photographs, promotion (advertising), portrait, wedding or a specialized market (e.g., underwater) photography. |
| 23.2 To create a proposal for a commercial photography contract. (CCT) |
This is a realistic situation when the photographer creates or develops work for him or herself. The project ideas could revolve around the promotion of a business, community organization or creation of a brochure to promote tourism, for example. Create a scenario with two students and conduct a photographer - client interview to determine the needs and desires of the client. For the photographer important questions to ask regarding the contract proposal are Who, What, When, Where and Why. It will be important to the success of the contract for the photographer to gain the confidence of the client in his/her ability to accomplish the tasks in the contract. Modules from the following curricula may be used in a variety of scenarios to produce a finished brochure for a client.
Modules may not be covered twice by a student but may serve as appropriate reference material. |
| 23.3 To produce a product and presentation as the result of a contract. (IL) |
The product will reflect the contract that was decided upon in Module 22 Learning Objective 22.2. This might be an actual work situation for a client and may be accomplished in a work study or it may be in a simulation created by the teacher and the student. |
