For the past year my students have had to use their laptop cameras in order to photograph their work or themselves for self portraits. As you probably know, laptop cameras are not known for quality images. My desire is to provide them access to high quality photos to work from. We will have a photo corner where they can snap pictures of themselves, their friends, a still life they have arranged, up close photos for detailed drawings, their art work to create an online portfolio, etc. We also want to use our cameras to dive into graphic design and composition in photography. I know these resources will make a tremendous impact in the lives of my students!
