✅ If your learner has taken Photography for Kids - Manual DSLR Photography 101 + 201, this material was introduced in the week 4 lesson and will be familiar but this course's pace and assignments will provide an opportunity to explore each concept more in-depth, and many learners take both. 


We cannot separate what we are taking a photo of from how we arrange it shapes, colors, and lines. Composition is a cornerstone of creative photography! When we understand composition, we can guide the viewer's eye through our photo, creating a successful work of art that people are interested to look at. In this class we will explore composition by studying various photographs and practicing using specific compositional techniques in our own work!

This class will discuss how we go about arranging a composition, how we can make changes to composition, and a set of basic principles that can guide our decisions about composition. 

Each week we will explore 1 or 2 new methods for organizing a composition. We will learn the definition of the term, and look at photographs together, discussing the way we see the element of composition applied. 

Each week, students will be assigned to create photos utilizing the new composition principles that we have learned about, culminating in a final project where they utilize them all.
