Particularly with visual art, I make it a point to provide methodical instructions, demonstrations and ample photographic examples to inspire my students. Each week the learners will be given an interactive Google slideshow, which will cover the topics in detail and also include quizzes, photo analysis, and assignments. These will be complemented by as many as a dozen video lessons that go into even greater detail on many of the more complicated topics. Weekly office hours will be scheduled so that students can meet with me to discuss topics and concepts, ask questions about the lessons and assignments, and get help and advice when needed.

LEARNING ASSESSMENTS / FEEDBACK The (6) photography assignments will be submitted to me through shared Google Drive folders. Though traditional grades will not be issued, students will receive detailed and constructive feedback on each of their assignments -- photo by photo. In the case that a class has multiple learners, students will be encouraged to also view and critique their classmates' work. For image analysis assignments, students will study and analyze a series of professional photographs and submit their written responses to me. They will do this in conjunction with the Week 3 and Week 4 lessons. PREREQUISITES Digital SLR Photography 1 (FLEX) is a strongly recommended prerequisite to this course.
學習目標
By the end of the 4 weeks of instruction, learners should:
(1) feel confident shooting in Manual Mode and controlling all aspects of exposure, focus, and color balance
(2) feel at home with all of the major features provided by their DSLR camera
(3) be skilled at working in all types of lighting conditions -- natural and artificial
(4) be able to use both hard and diffused light appropriately
(5) understand and be able to effectively use lens flare, high key and low key styles, lines of all types, isolation, compression, shadows, contrast, symmetry, patterns and repetition, negative space, close-up detail, visual pathways, and story-telling in their photos, while also having expanded their use of the rule of thirds, through lines, balance, framing, camera orientations, freezing motion, motion blurring techniques, depth of field, and tilts.
(6) have a strong knowledge of the different lens types and the situations where they're best used
(7) feel comfortable posing and lighting a subject with natural light
(8) have an increasingly acute sense of how to fill the space in the photographic frame
(9) have made significant progress in establishing a unique visual style

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
Content-wise, there is nothing in this class that's controversial or of concern. However, no one becomes a good photographer without a lot of practice, and students will need to go out and shoot. As the photographic art is largely a solitary one, it will be necessary for learners to be out on their own and have the freedom to wander a bit in search of good situations and light.
供應清單
WHAT I'LL PROVIDE Interactive slideshows (Google Slides) will be provided each week, which will include text lessons, mini-quizzes, photographic examples, assignment instructions, images to analyze, animations, etc. Occasionally, these lessons may include links to external websites. Students will also be provided with 30-50 minutes of video lessons each week, designed to complement the written materials. WHAT STUDENTS WILL NEED (1) A digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera. Any make and model is fine. (2) At least one lens. Most people will just have the lens that came with their camera kit, and that is sufficient to begin with. But if you have other lenses, by all means, put them to use. (3) At least one memory card. (4) A tripod. A cheap, mass-market tripod will be fine for this course. (5) Regular access to a computer. Assignments will only require JPG files, so these can be downloaded and submitted straight from the camera without any editing required. (6) Regular access to the internet. You'll need this for the slideshows, videos, and other content I'm providing, which is all web-based, as well as to submit your assignments.

教師專業知識和證書
I studied photojournalism at the Brooks Institute of Photography and have worked as a freelance photographer off and on throughout the years, having been involved in this art form for about 25 years. I've spent most of my adult life teaching in a variety of contexts (full-time and part-time) and working with students of many different ages, but especially learners in the middle school and high school range.
