Class Experience

This class is in the Flex format and all lessons are done dependently after watching my weekly video posts.
This class will help your artist gain confidence in using Manual Mode with their DSLR or Mirrorless Cameras. Each week students will learn a new photo technique (listed below). I will deliver a visual presentation about the weeks technique and show how to achieve great photos with that technique. Each week learners will be given a photo prompt using the new technique that they will need to capture before the next class. Each student will post their photo in the classroom to be discussed by everyone in class. Each weeks technique will be visually presented during class where I will show examples 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 in their work. We will be discussing our work as a class. 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.
