Beginning Photography - Level 1

Tutor: Mrs. Terri Kenison

Description: Photography, the art of writing with light. This art form allows the student artist to use a camera to “create” art. By looking at the world around you and using your camera, you will create images that will show others your unique view of the world we live in.

You will go from taking pictures, to making pictures. You will learn how light affects each photo you take and how to use it to go beyond the snapshot. You will learn about the different camera modes and how to use aperture, shutter speed and ISO. You will learn how to see things differently through the lens of your camera.

Level: 7th – 12th grade

Prerequisite: None

Homework: Will consist of photo shoots and printing needed images for class. Test prep.

Required Equipment: DSLR Camera with lens (like the Canon Rebel for example.)
