What I am looking for:

Time and effort put into your projects

Interesting and creative ideas

Good technical quality

Participation and active engagement with the material discussed in class

Participation in critiques

Classroom Decorum:

Be careful with your words, think before you speak, take your time and listen. Respect your self, your classmates, your educator and environment/community. Please no PDA, cell phones, gossip.

Shooting:

 Experiential learning takes place in an outdoor or community setting. Through this experience students will develop leadership team building and photographic skills in an environment that is outside the classroom. We also would like to visit and learn from our local photographers.

Imagery:

Students have artistic freedom within the boundaries of school policy. Promoting drugs, violence, sex, gangs or racism is against school policy.

Food:

NO FOOD IN CLASSROOM OR DARKROOM. Chemistry can be absorbed into your food. DANGER-DANGER!!!
