ADVANCED PHOTO
Grades 9–12 Semester This class may be taken to fulfill an art or STE requirement
Advanced Photography is a multi-year course, for students who wish to continue working in photography. It is an intensive exploration of photography as a creative medium. Emphasis is on developing a portfolio, with evidence of an evolving aesthetic or style around specific themes. Basic themes will be provided for student selection, and individual creativity will be expected so that students can expand or narrow these themes into meaningful photojournalistic projects. Students are required to participate in monthly critiques and evaluations, and participate in at least one contest or exhibition during the course. Advanced technical skills for digital photography are covered, including refinement of exposure, aperture, ISO, shutter speeds, as well as image editing and manipulation. Each student must demonstrate the determination and dedication needed for responsible production in independent study. Enrolment in this course is dependent upon individual student motivation and past performance. Students may elect to do an advanced placement portfolio (see requirements under Advanced Placement Art)

MATERIALS
GRADING
To reduce the frequent sharing/cleaning of materials, and to enable students to get the MOST out of the curriculum, the arts department recommends that students create their own material “kits” for classes. This way, we limit risk of contamination and students can bring their kits home to participate in the activities on remote days. NOTE: the ONLY items that are required are in red. Everything else is a recommendation so the student can get as much out of the class as possible. Rest assured that any materials, tools, and equipment that are used in the art rooms will be thoroughly sanitized!
