The McHenry County College Art Department will
celebrate the 12th World Wide Pinhole Photography Day with its first public
two-day workshop from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April
29 in Room A139 at the college. The college is located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in
Crystal Lake.
Pinhole photography is creating a photographic image
without the use of a lens and an image is created from a pinhole. Artists such
as DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Vermeer knew and used the principles of the pinhole
to help create their art.
On Saturday, participants will build and test their
own pinhole camera, along with learn traditional black and white darkroom
techniques with hands-on darkroom experience. Those who use a digital DSLR can
use the camera body cap as a pinhole device or create one for their own camera.
On Sunday, participants will create their own pinhole
image that they will upload and submit to the pinhole day website to share with
the rest of the world. Instructor is Jim Christensen, MCC adjunct photography
instructor.
The workshop is open to anyone 13 years of age and
older. Early registration is recommended as space is limited to 20
participants. Cost is $15. Lunch is on your own. To register, call the MCC Art
Department at (815) 455-8677 or email Sarah Ruthven, art department chair, at sruthven@mchenry.edu.
