Welcome to Photo 10 Tues Jan 28

Overview Photo 10

In this class you will learn much about how to see from a different perspective, how to improve your ability to take artistic photos and how to edit photos in Photoshop. There is much to know in the field of Photography and I am a learner as much as a teacher. In fact, we can learn much from each other. This class will allow a fair bit of freedom, but with this freedom comes responsibility. 

( Class Guidelines/Expectations to be discussed)

Students are encouraged to use their phones as well as the digital slr cameras. School cameras will be available for student use in class and cameras may be able to be signed out with teacher permission to take home. If cameras are signed out they must be returned the next day or privileges will be revoked. There are 4 other large classes needing the use of cameras. Techniques on how to use your phones will be taught in class. It will be helpful for students to bring their own phone cords if uploading from their phones since there is not enough for every student in the class.

Requirements for success in this course:

• a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and push beyond the level you are at
