Do you love taking photos? Do you enjoy taking pictures of your favorite people, places and things? Come join us in Photo Academy as we turn our class into a photo studio! In this class you will become more confident using the features of a digital camera and learn fundamental photography techniques. We will learn about photo composition including the rule of thirds, background, perspective, framing and lines as well as how to use different camera 'modes'. We'll also learn and practice photo editing techniques to improve the quality or add creativity to our photos. We'll also have some fun by taking our cameras on photo safaris! We'll take pictures in a nearby garden, a local park, and of events and activities happening right around our classroom studio. On our field trips we'll visit the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a professional photography studio, and Como Zoo and Conservatory. <3
