Digital Photography - 330photo1

Duration: One Semester

Type: Elective

Eligibility: 11, 12,

Prerequisites: Introduction to Fine Arts, Studio 1

This elective course provides students with the skills to take, alter, print, critique and appreciate digital photography. This approach will be taught from both technical and aesthetic perspectives. Students will learn how to control the functions of a digital camera and create a balanced and interesting composition. Students will learn how to manipulate their digital photographs through the use of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and will have an introduction to the Adobe Creative Suite 4. Digital file organization will be explained and practiced. Students will also learn how to attain a high quality print with the technology provided.
We will examine the history of photography with an emphasis on social realism during the twentieth century. Two photo projects will be required. The first project is a photo calendar to be completed at the end of the first quarter. The second project will be a photojournalism project documenting a-day-in-the-life of either themselves or someone else. In addition, students will engage in short-term photo assignments throughout the semester in order to practice and perfect the techniques introduced in class. Along with vocabulary, writing assignments, critiques and formal assessment, students will work toward completing their 12 piece photojournalism exhibition to be presented to the class and displayed in the art complex.
