591 Advanced Photography and Image Editing----1 Credit
Advanced Photography and Image Editing is a yearlong course designed as an elective for juniors and seniors. The concept of the course is to provide students the opportunity to improve their photography, image editing, and graphic skills. Students will only use Digital SLR cameras. Students will continue to learn Adobe PhotoShop skills in the areas of 1) Shapes and Paths; 2) Type and Text Effects; 3) Distortions and Custom Effects; 4) Color Management and Actions and 5). Additionally, students will be taught Adobe’s imaging vector-based program, Illustrator. Using Illustrator, students will learn 1) How to draw; 2) Modify paths; 3) Text and Formatting; 4) Transform and Distort; 5) Fill Stroke and Color; and 6) Blends, Mask and Brushes. All image editing work will be accomplished using the WACOM digitizing tablet/pen system. Students taking this course should have passed the Intro to Computer Applications course and course 580, Photography and Image Editing. The preparation of pictures by matting and framing will be covered as well. Students will complete a “Capstone Project” where they will be required to capture, edit, frame and mat a series of 3 pictures. Students taking this course may be required to purchase the framing and matting material (through the school) for their projects.
