NO CLASS 11/23

The best way to learn to take good pictures is to shoot pictures and then share positive critiques; this is how we all learn. Each week in this class, I will give you a different photography assignment, and the next week, come to class with your three best pictures on a flash drive. We'll spend part of the class looking at everyone's work. It's stimulating and inspiring to see what everyone comes up with. Make sure you have the manual for your camera. If you don't, you can download it at www.cameramanualsonline.com. Print it, or save it to a flash drive. Make sure the battery is charged.

This class will be taught in the classroom and there may be 2-3 field trips off-campus to be discussed in class.

Join us as we go afield with others who love photography and make images at different locations around the Sarasota and Manatee areas.  In each exciting class we will study art elements and photographic compositions as we explore some of the following photography genres: abstract, architecture, flowers, food, landscapes, nature, portrait and street.  Locations vary, but may include a rookery, nature preserve, historic buildings, interesting neighborhoods, college campuses and our beautiful bay and Gulf of Mexico. 

The first week we will have a lecture and theory on campus. The second and third week we will be in the field and the fourth week we will be back in the classroom to see your images on the big screen, compare notes and have friendly, lighthearted critiques. The fifth (last) week on March 1 will be in the field. 

Through the wonderful opportunity ACE provides, you are encouraged to display and mark your work for sale in the art gallery on campus. 

Please bring your camera with fully charged batteries, SD/Flash Cards with room for memory and your camera manual to classes.  All cameras and cell phones welcome. Please wear sturdy shoes for our excursions and always carry a bottle or two of water or Gatorade to stay hydrated.
