Basic / Intermediate Photography Course |
Course Description
This course was created in response to the overwhelming number of students enrolled in our Intermediate Class who asked for a review of the basics and the large number of students in our basic classes who asked for more detail about certain topics.
Using both classroom lectures and "hands on" classes we cover each topic from basics to a intermediate level. We have found that those students with experience benefit from the review of the basics as they advance their photographic skills to the next level. The beginners not only receive the basics of photography, they are exposed to a more advanced level allowing each student to achieve the skill level that fits them best. Students completing this course routinely tell us the combination of the basic and intermediate course works extremely well. This course includes homework assignments, lectures, "hands on practice" and optional field trips (weather permitting).
In addition to the classes, the instructors are available after classes for questions. The course study guide makes a great "cheat sheets" for future reference. Students are invited to attend field trips with other classes and with future classes. Students may also bring family and friends on field trips.
