Photography Course for High School - DIGITAL DSLR

This is a bundle that'll get your classes going in high school photography! It would also work for Yearbook and Media Arts classes.

This is a project based course where students use their class time to develop their critical creative eye and push their knowledge of cameras beyond what they know.

It also involves a lot of art design, and seeing how photography is indeed a form of art.

It's just so much fun.

Included are both my Grade 11 and Grade 12 units. Enough content for an entire year (and more!)

It includes more than enough projects to fit a one semester long curriculum that I use over the course of 5 months.

Given that these projects are very flexible in regards to timelines, I've included enough assignments that I use with my senior photography courses.

This bundle just includes DIGITAL PROJECTS but if you also have access to a darkroom you might be interested in my digital AND darkroom course bundle

This bundle includes:

• INTRO/START OF THE COURSE
  • intro activities to make students feel welcome and excited!
  • photo journal sketchbooks (a life saver for any "down time")

• ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES AND COMPOSITION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
  • a lesson plus some projects where they apply what they've learned

• HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY
  • 2 student led presentations, where students are assigned a photographer and do daily presentations
  • includes the invention of photography all the way to modern photographers

• INTRO TO DSLR CAMERA PARTS + FUNCTIONS
  • an intro to key things like shutter/ISO/aperture etc.
  • both the inside and outside of the camera

• STUDENTS' FAVOURITE DIGITAL PROJECTS
  • fits all the genres (portrait, product, still life etc) with lots and LOTS of room for creativity and choice for every project
  • mentor photographer + photo transfer project are perfect for final major projects

• 3 PHOTO CHALLENGES

• MIXED MEDIA ASSIGNMENTS FOR IN-CLASS WORK
  • These are super fun and creative, and get students working hands-on in the classroom while still working with photos

• EXTRA MATERIALS
  • course profile, teaching advanced composition, generic photography proposal, generic photo rubric etc.

ENJOY!

NOTES:

✔ the photography journal and extra mixed media assignments are a life saver for this course! If you're just doing digital (and not rotating kids through the darkroom too), there's a lot of "down" time between photo shoots. This will keep them working and engaged and learning lots!

✔ some of the projects aren't editable, and are uploaded as PDF's given that I create them on Pages and this file type isn't accepted on TPT

Enjoy!
