Take a much-needed holiday and immerse yourself in daily art workshops! The Holiday Term is a new series of workshops in an array of mediums designed to sharpen your practice or introduce you to new methods and techniques.

Immerse yourself in this online workshop to confidently learn digital photography. This workshop is ideal for students who are new to photography, want to learn manual operations of the camera, or are simply seeking to expand their photographic practice. Activities and photo assignments will give you the “depth-of-field- ability” to create the desired dramatic effects in your photos. Together we will master priority modes, manual mode, depth of field, composition, color balance, and more! Photographic assignments during the course will keep your learning fresh and allow you to implement and expand upon your practice outside of class hours.

All kinds of digital cameras are welcome: compact point-and-shoot, the new mirrorless cameras, and SLR
(Single Lens Reflex) cameras. Tripods are not required, but welcomed.
