Class Experience

This class will help your artist gain confidence in their photography skills. We will learn about our cameras, how they work and how to care for them. Each week students will learn a new photo technique (listed below) and will be given a photo prompt that they will need to capture before the next class. Each student will present their photo and as a class we will have an open discussion about their work. Each weeks technique will be visually presented during class where I will show examples of the technique through my own and other artists work. I will also demonstrate how each technique can be achieved. 

My teaching style is all about fun! This will be a calm, relaxing and safe environment where students have the freedom to create and talk with other artists. I will encourage students to use their imagination and creativity to create their work. We will be discussing our work each week. All artists will be encouraged to share their photos as well as discuss others work. There is a zero tolerance policy on bullying. All artists will be respectful, encouraging and constructive or they will not be allowed in class.
