Distance learning poses challenges for photography classes at San Jose City College where access to darkrooms is no longer allowed, but professors are finding creative ways to complete coursework.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe students still have their film cameras; but without film and the necessary chemistry, it was clear the class could not function in a traditional manner,\u201d photography instructor Terri Garland wrote in an email. \u201cWe had to think outside the box and create assignments that focused on creativity, problem-solving and thinking in black and white, all the while transitioning to cell phone cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n
One assignment Garland gave her students was to restage famous pieces of art. Some students recreated works from Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci.<\/p>\n
