Digital Photography
Visual & Performing Arts High School
About This Course
You can make art anytime and anywhere with digital photography. In this class, you will "focus" on the basics of camera operation, exposure, image control, composition, photo enhancement, and photo manipulation. Major projects involve exploring and creating photographic art like macro, closeup, portrait, landscape, action, architecture, and street photography. Additional learning activities include digital editing, exploring ethics, writing critiques and creating a portfolio. It is STRONGLY recommended that you use a digital camera to complete all required assignments. If you choose to use a cell phone camera, you will also need to access a photo editing application that permits users to apply settings that would otherwise be applied within menus typical of DSLR cameras. Students should have a working knowledge of the camera they intend to use to complete assignments in this course.
