Our goal is to establish a photography club/class in which students will learn photography concepts from basic to advanced. Participants will assist teachers with recording (video or still) award-winning lessons; assist with yearbook production; other clubs; sporting events (basketball, volleyball, running); etc.
Students will create, with direction, photographs of artistic and functional merit. Through various exercises such as assignments, gallery walks, or scavenger hunts, students will judge each other’s work based on those merits (VA 68.C.1; VA. 68.C.2; VA. 68.C.3). They will also use critical thinking skills to judge and compare their works with that of culturally important photographs from history (artistic or journalistic) based on a rubric of creativity, technical competence, planning, and execution of subject matter.
Students will learn the components of a photograph: exposure (aperture, shutter, ISO – and how those three components impact the photo’s construction or meaning); rule of thirds; leading lines; color; contrast; balance; lighting; angle; shot length; perspective; etc.
