In this fun, hands-on photography class, students explore the world through a new lens, discovering how light, colour, angles, composition, and perspective can transform an ordinary picture into something amazing.
Using iPads, students learn the FUNdamentals of photography, experiment with camera settings from automatic to manual, and take on creative photo challenges that encourage them to look at their surroundings in new and unexpected ways. They’ll also dive into digital editing, learning how to crop, adjust, enhance, and transform their images while developing their own unique creative style.
From capturing fascinating details to telling stories through pictures, students will have plenty of opportunities to experiment, express themselves, and see the world differently.
The best photos are curated into a digital portfolio. At the end of the course, students will have access to a digital download of their projects to share and enjoy.
