What makes a photograph great?

As result of taking the basic Photography course, Advanced Photography students should be able to answer this question. They should also be visually literate, be able to describe and analyze photographs using the correct terminology, be able to name and discuss historic and modern photographers and be able to shoot and edit their own unique photographic compositions.

In Advanced Photography, students will continue to

apply what they have learned and create personally meaningful work. Students will participate in photographic challenges and assignments to build and strengthen skills. Students will have MUCH more freedom to choose what subjects, styles, themes and concepts they are most interested in and develop several bodies of work throughout the year.

As a result of this course, students will be able to generate ideas, themes and concepts for their own photographic work and execute these ideas to produce several collections of work.  Students will also be able think critically about the work of professional photographers as well as their peers.

Grades

Students will receive a grade per week, usually entered by Monday of the following week. Students will be told what assignment, activity, or project their weekly grade will be attributed too.

Fees

Students usually pay a $20 course fee for the printing of photographs - with the exception being students who are on free and reduced lunch.
