In the photography workshop, students learned fundamental camera and darkroom techniques, as well as the various aesthetic and technical problems involved in black-and-white photography. The workshop was designed to increase the students' awareness of visual sensation, and their ability to view their work and the work of others with critical intelligence. Film, chemicals, darkroom facilities, cameras, and light meters were provided by M. I. T.
