This is a foundation course for students who have an interest in learning photography as an art form. Students will create digital images and collages in Photoshop while learning the functions of a 35mm Digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) camera. The history of photography will act as a catalyst for contemporary photography projects. There will be an introduction to the darkroom through basic 35mm film projects and cameraless photography techniques. Specific weekly Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom procedures will be discussed through guided resources. This will allow students to earn a Adobe Photoshop certificate and/or a Lightroom certificate through the Adobe Certificate Associate (ACA) testing program. Students may opt to take this course for Dual Enrollment and earn 3 transferable LCCC credits. As a CP level, dual-credit course, this class will receive Honors (4.5) weight in your GPA, adhering to Pennsylvania Department of Education’s guidelines.
