Photography is a semester long class. Students are introduced to traditional 35 mm photography. They learn how to operate a manual camera, develop black and white film, and print photographs from negatives. Students also use digital cameras and are able to edit their digital images using online editing programs. In addition to learning about the technical side of photography, students are encouraged to create strong, dynamic photographic compositions, exercise creative thinking skills, and learn how to present their artwork in a manner that is visually appealing.
