Take cool and creative photos with your phone, tablet, or camera! This class will be mostly taught from the perspective of taking pictures with a smartphone. Learn about all of the settings on your device's camera and understand what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO mean. Discover more about the inner workings of how a camera functions. Study reflections, angles, lighting, composition, and more! No prior knowledge of photography is needed.
Students are expected to participate in reading assignments (homework) and emailing or uploading photos each week. The weekly assignments given will include reading, research, a little writing, and of course, picture taking! Parents may tailor the assignments to suit the student’s age and ability. Part of our time in class will be sharing our photos and hearing how their photo creations went (what went well, questions they had, additional ideas, etc). Students will need to bring their textbook to class each week.
