Teacher: Ms. Chase
Intro: Digital Photo is a new course to Isfeld this year. Students will be introduced to camera basics, how to compose shots, and the basics of photographic design. Much of the class time will be spent taking photos and working through creative assignments in order to help students become better photographers. Students will also learn the basics of photo editing (cropping, colour balancing, resizing and utilizing some of the many artistic tools.) This year’s course will not focus heavily on Photoshop but rather will focus on guiding students to use the camera in an artistic way. It is my hope that a more advanced course will be offered next year for students who have already taken this course.
Evaluation: The course will be evaluated based on the following:
Assignments: 70%
Portfolio: 20% ( Electronic slideshow or print copy)
Studio Skills: 10%
Requirements:
· An sd flash card 2gb or higher ( will act as the student’s notebook for their photography)
· A Flash drive is recommended (2gb or higher)
· Fickr account (free)
· Note: Having access to a camera on the weekends would be helpful.
