For digital photography classes, students will need a functioning digital camera, USB cable, memory card and fresh batteries. CRCAP has a limited number of cameras available for those unable to provide their own. Please contact office for details.
ADVANCED DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY: Ages 11-15 (Limit 12) Take your photography to the next level. We will brainstorm a series of projects, then produce photographs that leave the world of snapshots behind! Creativity and experimentation are the path of the class - stunning photographs are the goal. (period 3)
BEGINNING PHOTO: Ages 8-12 (Limit 10) This class is designed for students who have little prior experience with a camera or have never taken a photography class. Students will become familiar with digital cameras, basic computer editing, and a creative approach to all of their images. Most of the projects will be student-derived ideas through group brainstorming sessions, and collaboration will be highly encouraged. Experience the freedom of expression and limitless creative potential that comes with knowing what all those dang buttons do. (period 1)
DIGITAL PHOTO: Ages 10-15 (Limit 12) Using digital cameras and computer technology, we will document the evolution and emotion of some of the programs at CRCAP and assemble the work into computer-generated slideshows. This is where art and commentary journalism meet head-to-head and walk into the sunset together whistling! Note: A digital SLR camera is required for this class. (period 2)
IDENTITY CRISIS: (Limit 12) Combine acting, photography, costumes and makeup. Campers will turn themselves into their favorite celebrities, super heroes, artists, authors, anyone! After perfecting the transformation, we will summon the paparazzi using cameras, lighting techniques and editing software. Isn't it time for an Identity Crisis? (period 5)
PHOTOSHOP: Ages 12-15 (Limit 6) Now that you've taken the picture, what's next? In this class we'll take ordinary pictures and explore using software to transform them into a different kind of art. We'll add glow, change the look of photos to grunge, goth, or any combinations in between. We'll create our own effects, and learn the language of photoshop. Layers, gaussian blur, and actions will have a whole new meaning. Note: This not a class where we you learn to put your face on Jacob from Twilight's body. Creativity and a willingness to experiment required! (period 1)
STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY: Ages 12-15 (Limit 8) We'll experiment with light and light modifiers to digitally photograph people and objects in the studio. Learn the ins and outs of professional digital photography. In this class, shutterbugs will see their friends in a whole new light! (Period 6)
