Learning Needs
Though I don't have formal training in supporting students with unique learning needs, I do have experience in working with them.
(I find that some of the very best art students happen to have unique learning needs.)
Parental Guidance
You're probably aware of how provocative themes are sometimes used in art and photography. Because this class is available to students under the age of 18, we won't be covering examples that include nudity or themes that may be upsetting or scary for some learners. You're encouraged to show curiosity in your teen's photography and help them think about appropriateness of subject matter for the context of this course, if necessary.
Pre-Requisites
Some familiarity with the camera phone.
