Throughout this course you will be introduced to photography and artists from around the world and learn how photographic imaging has become so important in our society.

*Each photo Student will create a photo blog to help show their growth threw the semester as well as establish an identity as a photographer. You will be turning assignments in and reflecting on your blog.

The blog is required. The blog acts as a digital portfolio. Posting on your blog is equivalent to turning something in.

Advice from photo students..
Cailey M-"Stay on top of your photo shoots but have fun and let your imagination go crazy"
Mikaela S-"Have fun with taking pictures and don't be afraid to express yourself!"

Tiffany M-Tips I have for future photos one class is actually try your best when taking pictures because when you actually get good photos and edit them or develop them you are very proud of the accomplishment in the end."

Abby S-"Be yourself and don't doubt your work! Any idea is beautiful, and creativity comes in many shapes and sizes (literally)! I was afraid of not having very good photography skills, but as soon as I opened myself up to this art, I really enjoyed it and learned from my experiences in this class!! <3

--Brie W-"Don't procrastinate when you are assigned a photo shoot. Go home everyday and maybe take 5 pictures therefore you will have a ton and you will be able to find at least one picture that you really like. If you procrastinate and wait until the last day, your photos wont be as strong and probably will look like crap"

Jamie O-"Take a lot of pictures, and always have your camera with you"

Allan B-Take your pictures as soon as you can, take this class seriously. 

Rachel T-"do your work, but have fun with it.  you can take any boring project and make it fun if you really try. taking pictures is something you'll do the rest of your life, wouldn't it be cool if you were kind of good at it?"
