In this course, your child will learn basic photographic art skills by directing their perception in positive visual exercises. These exercises will help to promote self - confidence and create a habit of choosing to think in ways that express and communicate in a visual medium.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE OUTLINE

A class will be made up of a minimum of 6 students and up to 8 students.

The classes are one day per week for four weeks with an optional evening for portfolio viewing using LCD projected images. Parents are invited for this evening event. This is a great incentive for the child to do his best work!

Ages 6-9 Morning classes 2hours M/or W/or F 10:00am-Noon
Ages 10-12 Afternoon classes 2hours M/or W/or F 1:00pm-3pm

Portfolio Viewing will be from 7:00pm –9:00pm. (Younger children will go first and may leave early)

These off peak traffic times will make driving easy!

You know what age group your child is most comfortable with. These are only guidelines. The course outline is the same for each group. The skill level may vary according to maturity. Matching skill levels in a group dynamic may provide encouragement and willingness to share ideas and display work.

One Parent for each group is needed for the day classes. This volunteer position may rotate. (It’s a great way for parents to get a free digital camera class!)

Only drinks with screw tops will be allowed in the classroom.
Avoid drinking in the computer lab please. (You may step into the kitchen, if needed)
Eat before you arrive or after you leave please.

There are 6 PC computers, running Windows XP and1 MAC computers, running OSX, in the lab. Reservations will be on a first to sign up basis. The student will remain at the same computer throughout the course. Students may buddy on a computer at times if that will facilitate learning.
