Watch beginning

 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 to be discussed)

Students are encouraged to use their phones for taking photos. 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 phone cords if uploading from their phones.

Requirements for success in this course:

• a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and push beyond the level you are at
• your own cell phone and charger cables 
• use of class time effectively and respect for the freedom you have in this class, taking photos at home occasionally when you can so you can maximize your class time to edit
• be a good model for your peers/help out others when you can

• ALL COMPUTER KEYBOARDS AND MICE ARE TO BE WIPED AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS
• SHOOT OUTSIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

Core Competencies

• Critical and Creative thinking
• Self and Social Responsibility
• Visual Communication skills

Assessment: 

Students will be assessed on the quality and effort put into their photo assignments. Criteria is focused on the Elements of Composition and the ability to compose creatively using effective angles,  shot set-up, and clarity of photos. Each assignment will focus on certain criteria that needs to be met. 

With classes being very large and having so many photography students this term. Work that is later than two weeks will constitute a phone call home and an I form.

Students are encouraged to have their work marked by Ms Chase in class so you can get instant feedback and achieve the best grade possible.

PROCEDURES FOR CLASS

Students will be given time to photograph in class. Upon return from class, photos should be immediately uploaded onto the school computers and saved in 2 places.

• First they should be saved on your  One Drive 
• Next they should be copied onto the M drive under the student's folder
• At the time of marking, the work should be saved in the class folder for the assignment on the m drive
