F/A Digital Photo
Digital Photo is a digital art class where students learn art theory concepts such as the elements of art, principles of design, composition, lighting, camera handling techniques, history of photography, commercial applications,
and photography related careers.
Because of the project-based nature of the class, students will be able to learn at their own pace and create meaningful
pieces to add to their portfolios.
