    Course Information & Overview

    Photography captures moments in time through light and allows us to view the world
    through different perspectives either as the viewer or the photographer. The ever evolving
    technology of photography is exciting and inspiring. This photography course is designed
    to give students experiences with the creative and technical aspects of photography.
    Students will use digital cameras, Adobe Photoshop and other applications to shoot,
    compose, manipulate and edit digital photography.

    The course begins with a history of Photography, how photography is critiqued and how
    to incorporate the Elements & Principles of Art in producing quality images with a digital
    camera. Once we have covered the basics, the use of computer software in editing and
    manipulating photos will be by themes. A minimal amount of internet research will be
    done in this course and students will have a portfolio of images.

    Digital Photography is a 1-term course where the student earns 0.5 credit. This credit may
    be used as an elective credit or as half of the 1.0 art (VPAA) credit required for

    Classroom Procedures

    In order to meet the aforementioned learning goals students are expected to:
    ~ be in class on time every day
    ~ be prepared for class everyday (must have a pencil everyday)
    ~ work productively in class everyday and take responsibility for their own work
    ~ clean up after themselves and help to maintain the classroom environment
    ~work independently when the teacher is working with other students

    Late work will be accepted when the student discusses the situation with the teacher,
    otherwise late work will be accepted with credit loss. Final deadline for all late work is 5
    school days prior to exam day (end of term).

    After 5 absences it becomes difficult to know what is going on in a lab class where most
    of the information is delivered via demonstrations and lectures. In these cases, the student
    will be given alternative assignments that can be done at home.

    Students who misuse the classroom equipment or supplies will be given alternative
    assignments that can be done without the classroom equipment and supplies.

    Each student in the visual and performing arts will accomplish a set of benchmarks in a
    cyclical manner of learning in which the students demonstrate their ability of each skill,
    working towards the National Art Standards .
