If you really want to learn photography in the artistic sense you need to look into getting a 35mm SLR and a couple of black and white films and just experiment. Digital photography can only teach you so much, you need to know the original methods of photography.

It requires alot more than that. Firstly when you are taking the photographs you need to get the right appature for what you want, have the right shutter speed and setup a good composition. Then you have to process the film and then develop it and make some prints. You can then use a whole range of techniques while taking your film and making some prints, from using filters to masking, buring and dodging, to creating a movement burning effect to painting developer on your print. Those are just a few of the things you can use and the important thing is to see if you can do them well.
