Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Diane Miller.

This course requires students to investigate and develop their own personal theme using drawing, the technical tools of the camera and the computer.  There is a systematic approach to learning about the practices of art through the investigation of recent and established forms of photography.  Students must refer to these forms of photography in the extension of their own work.  A refurbished photography studio is available for artificial lighting and workshops.  

Students must have a digital SLR and a laptop which supports the use of Adobe Creative Cloud, and they are required to purchase the student version of Creative Cloud.
