Digital Photography 1 - In this class students use Olympus c770 cameras document their world - students learn fundementals of composition, contrast and image quality and how to take control of their medium - LIGHT!. Students begin with automatic settings and transition to manual settings to complete a number of assignments designed to encourage them to see the visual opportunities around them.

Needs:
Currently, we share 8 cameras among the 4 sections of 80 photo students, leaving work outside the classroom virtually impossible. While this small number of cameras helps to build a tight-knit community of young artists, I really want students to be able to photograph their worlds outside of school! We are also currently having difficulty printing adequately. We have one color inkjet printer that works some of the time - therefore an upgrade is (?) in our future, at least a goal:)
