Photography

Dive deep into the fundamental principles of composition and lighting with Usdan’s woodland campus as your backdrop. Mac computers and Photoshop are used in this class for imaging, photo enhancement, printing, and digital presentation.

Photography students spend their days in the studio and around campus engaging in a combination of direct instruction by experienced art educators and professional photographers, studio work time, collaboration with other young artists, and sharing and reflecting on their work. At the end of their session, students have the opportunity to celebrate their work by participating in the Art Parade, Open Studios day, or a celebration with their class in-studio. All levels are welcome. Classes are grouped according to age division and grade.  

Students supply their own digital camera. A limited number of cameras are available to lend out.
