What's included
Homework
Weekly photo prompts will be given. Students can spend as much or as little time as they want taking photos. Student will need to upload their photos to present their favorite to the class. They will also be required to talk on other students photos.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 and will be given a photo prompt that they will need to capture before the next class. Each week students will post their photo and as a class we will have a discussion about their work through the classroom chat. 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. 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.
