Phone: 887-8211 ext. 2307 E-mail: steve.duyck@ Website: mrduyck.

The goal of this class is to introduce students to basic artistic and technical photography skills.

This is a one-semester class. Students will complete approximately ten photography projects. Students will also keep a notebook for class notes and reflections on articles and videos.

Introduction – Set up your accounts and apps, get familiar with the basic controls on a camera or smart phone, make a camera obscura, and make a cyanotype print.

Project 1 – Share a File – Process an image file and submit it for class.

Project 2 – The Spartan Alphabet – Show your community with thoughtful framing and composition.

Project 3 – Point-of-View – Shoot from an interesting point-of-view.

Project 4 – Antique Portrait – Use Photoshop skills to create a fake antique portrait.

Project 5 – Exposure Control – Use bracketing to find the best exposure.

Project 6 – Ghost Photo – Use shutter speed to create a ghost effect.

Project 7 – Focus Control – Keep the foreground & focal point in focus. Blur the background.

Project 8 – Avedon Portrait – Shoot a portrait modeled after Richard Avedon’s work.

Project 9 – Black and White – Explore tone and texture through black and white photography.

Project 10 – Teacher Makeover – Use Photoshop skills to improve Sparta Middle School staff photos.

Final Project – Create a digital portfolio, reflect on what you have learned, and reshoot a photo.

Class Supplies

Students need a folder or binder with pockets, used only for this class.

Cameras will be provided for use in class. Students may use their own digital camera or smartphone camera if it takes photos at least 5 MP in size and if the photo files can be transferred to Google Drive through Wi-Fi, a direct Internet connection, or another way.

Homework

Students will have time to complete their assignments during class, but they will probably want to shoot some of their photos in different locations outside of school.

Grades

Student grades can be tracked on Power School through the website.

This class follows Sparta Middle School’s 80/20 grading policy, meaning that 80% of the final class grade is based on the individual project grades.

Late Work

Projects may be completed anytime before the end of the semester, but 10% will be deducted from projects submitted after the due date.

Absent students will receive a reasonable extension of the due date.
