Pam is the most wonderful professor I've had at UVa. Her photography is extremely interesting, and it is a privilege to get to be taught by her! She expects a lot, but you will come out of the class with a rock solid set of basic photography skills. Even if you do not continue with photography, this is a worthwhile class (although Photo 2, color photography is definitely worth taking as well!)
Pam has a soft spot for students who seems hard-working and is interested in art history.
Pam is amazing. Her input is always helpful. The darkroom is incredibly time consuming. When I took this class it was by far the class that I did the most work in, but it was worth it.
Pam is amazing. Like all art classes, her class is a lot of work but she gives good input and is always available to help.
One of the most amazing classes I have ever taken at UVA. Since it's an art class, it does require a significant amount of time, but the time flies by because the subject is interesting. Though i do wish Pam might have taught us more interesting techniques when it came to developing and taking pictures.
Awesome class but very hard!!!
This is one of the most time-consuming, yet rewarding studio art classes at UVa. Pam is extremely knowledgeable and demanding, but doesn't restrict the direction/style of any student's work. If you dedicate the time, you will make beautiful photographs.
Very enjoyable class if you're into photography. Pecchio is great, but be prepared to spend +$300 on supplies (film, chemicals, matboard, etc). Making prints and developing film aren't difficult tasks, but they are very time consuming. Prepare to spend at least 5 hours in the darkroom per week. But- it's very rewarding and the class periods themselves are very enjoyable.
you need to spend at least $400 the class takes A LOT OF time at the darkroom
