Art 455: Holography I
General Information
Course Content and
Procedures:
This course
consists of lectures, demonstrations, labs, discussions and critiques.
Lectures and demonstrations will be given Mondays and Wednesdays.
Discussions, presentations and critiques will occur on Fridays. Student
projects will be due on Mondays as announced. Projects will be discussed
as work is created and displayed. Student work will be critiqued and graded.
Final projects will be displayed in a holography exhibition at the end of
the quarter.
Students must pay
for film and chemicals. $25 will be collected for the use of chemicals
and two starter films. Additional film may be purchased for $3.00 per
4"x5" sheet, $6.00 per 5"x8" sheet and $12.00 per
8"x10" sheet. Students can expect to use 10-20 4"x5"

Discussion Days:
During discussion days,
each student assigned will present a 1 hour report (presentation +
discussion) on a topic associated with Holography. Students should sign up
for their discussion topics during the first two weeks of class. As part of
the work for the discussion, each student is required to turn in an
outline of the topic including references. The student presentation,
discussion and outline will be graded. The material for discussions forms
an integral part of the course. In most cases this material will only be
covered in the discussions.
Laboratory Time:
Laboratory time allows
students to perform their own work. Each student is required to
sign up for two hours of laborartory time. On Monday of each week any
open laboratory hours for that week will become available for student
sign-up. During the laboratory time the student who signed up will have
sole access to the laboratory.
Final
Exam:
There will be a
final exam at the end of the quarter. The exam will sample the material
covered in Lectures, Discussions and Assignments. The exam will have
roughly 40 questions all of which will be multiple choice,
matching, true-false or fill-ins.
