Precollege Programs: Photography Workshop

Grades 9-12

Location: Visual Arts Building, room 0005

The Photography Workshop’s focus is on camera techniques, lighting methods, and the use of computer software (Adobe) for enhancing and refining images and for printing digital files.

Learn how to see and compose images through the camera’s eye and develop personal concepts by solving fundamental visual problems specific to the photographic image. Acquire skills in presentation methods and archiving.

Both the experienced and inexperienced photographer are welcome. Program instructors will help students build a portfolio and offer constructive critiques.

• Students must supply their own digital camera. (Bring the manual!)
• All other supplies are included in the program fee.
• Students present an exhibition of their framed and/or matted work for families and friends.
