Description

In this online Photography self-paced class for homeschoolers, students will learn the basics of taking and editing photographs.

For those who remember the children’s program “Fetch” we use a similar style but adapt it for teens. Students taking the course will watch videos each week where 4 teens are taught some aspect of photography and then they are issued with a challenge. Once the online students have watched the teens perform the challenge, they get to complete the same challenges. They will also take online quizzes and do various other assignments each week.

This class is designed to teach many skills, but also to be fun! We use a free online tool to teach photo editing, so there is no need to buy anything extra for that.

Photography can be used as a Fine Arts credit for high school.
