course descriptionDigital Photography provides students with basic art and photography skills. The major emphasis of
this course will be to develop the ability to see in a photographic manner and to analyze images through the elements of formal design. Students will learn how to take compositionally artistic photographs, analyze their own photographs, and present their photographs in a professional manner. Students will be taught how to use shutter speeds and apertures, file formats, photo resolution, and digital cameras. They will also learn how to artistically manipulate a photograph using the same equipment that professional photographers and graphic designers use today. Ownership of a digital camera or film SLR camera is recommended, but not required. grading policy

Every student works at his/her own pace, but deadlines are a reality and we need to have work finished for class critiques. Projects must be completed for formal critiques and exhibits in order to receive full credit. If you are having difficulty keeping up in class you will have to work independently outside of class (before school, after school, study hall, or lunch). If you are sick, an extension will be granted if you or your parent contacts me during your illness to make arrangements to make up the work. Late work will be accepted until a certain date with points deducted for being late.
