4+ horas por semana. Learners will be given targeted photography assignments every class day that they will be expected to shoot and submit by the following morning. Assignments will be completed individually by each learner. The amount of time needed to complete the assignments will depend on the learner. On average, a motivated learner should expect to spend a couple of hours per day shooting.Evaluación
Learners will receive detailed feedback on every photo submitted. In some cases, learner submissions may be critiqued by classmates during the live zoom sessions. No formal grades will be given.Calificación

This course is designed as a day-camp learning experience with learners attending 1 hr 15 min Zoom sessions each morning from Monday through Friday. Each day a new set of practical, technical or compositional concepts is introduced in class. After class the students go out and complete photography assignments that specifically relate to the lesson, submitting their work to the instructor by the following morning for feedback and peer critique. CLASS STRUCTURE Zoom sessions will include lecture, photo analysis, group discussion, Q & A, and peer critiques of student work. I like to give lots of visual examples of every concept so that students have a very clear image in their mind of what they're working toward. Each class will conclude with descriptions and instructions of the day's assignments. Learners will also have access to numerous Google slideshows and pre-recorded videos that go into additional detail on select topics. They can explore these in their own time outside of class if they wish. LEARNER EXPERIENCE Learners do not need to have any previous photography experience. All they need is the required equipment items, a strong motivation to learn, and the drive to do the work required to improve. ASSIGNMENTS The assignment work outside of class is essential. I'd say it's 70% of the learning process, and learners can't hope to progress without it. Each learner must be committed to put in the time and effort to complete the assignments to the best of their ability each day. The amount of time spent on assignments is variable. For some it will take less time and others more. To get the most out of the class, I would expect to put in a couple of hours a day shooting. Photography is like any art: it requires a lot of practice and attention to detail.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I'm a San Diego-based educator, focusing primarily on photography, model building, and other visual arts. I've been teaching in a variety of contexts (and age groups) for 25 years and have led classes in a diverse range of subjects including web development, graphic design, animation, videography, digital imaging, photography, and art documentation.
I believe the key to learning a skill--particularly an artistic one--involves a combination of basic theoretical and practical concepts, tools, and hands-on experience. Whenever I'm teaching, my goal is to lead students toward a habit of experimentation, innovation, and self-discovery. You can't teach creativity or artistic vision, but you can give learners the toolbox to develop it.
My style is to approach learning from lots of different angles so that students can hear, see, and experience the subject first-hand through practical and creative assignments. I also like to involve the rest of the class in the process of teaching though discussions and peer critiques.Reseñas
