This summer we will be exploring many different aspects of digital photography including; picture composition, uploads/attachments, alteration, printing, artistic concept development, gaming and matting. We will also be looking at the photography of many influential artists.

Classroom Rules:
1.Respect others, materials, the room, and yourself.
2.Print only when asked to do so.
3.Hands on your own computers only.
4.Read directions before asking questions.
5.Internet is used ONLY for photography and project related purposes. Surfing the web without permission will not be tolerated and will result in lose of computer privileges for the day.

Things you need to know:
1.If you need to go to the bathroom…go! Just remember to sign-out on the “Bathroom Sign-out Sheet” so Mrs. Leclercq knows where you are (please, one at a time).

2.You are responsible for your own camera, cord, etc. Do not lend anything to anyone else, unless you are okay with someone else losing it. Please bring your equipment home after class every day.

3.If you have a flash drive or blank CDs at home you may use them in class. Make sure you put your first and last name on them.

4.If you are using a classroom re-writable cd, please be sure to return it to the materials basket.

5.You will each have a folder in the class folder box to leave items such as; projects, assignments, rough drafts, etc.

6.Please bring your camera (and cord if you have one) to class everyday. We will try to upload pictures using cords and connecting to our Dell computers. If we find that this does not work for your camera, you can upload them at home into Photoshop Express, or onto a disc or flash drive.

7.I will be keeping a Digital Photography blog. This will be updated almost daily and will have assignments, instructions, ideas, extension activities, hints, etc. Questions, comments, and ideas can be posted in response to my blogs. Lastly, please don’t hesitate to email me with any thoughts at kristin.leclercq@gmail.com
