=Assignments:= Research Paper [|Research Wix] My goal for this class is for you to learn much more about photography. To accomplish this, the curriculum I've developed requires a considerable amount of dedication on your part. To get the most from this class, you should plan to take many pictures throughout this course. You should also plan to work in class daily and take photos outside of school. Be prepared; have a couple of camera cards, and a reliable flash drive. If you do not have Photoshop at home, plan to download Gimp to edit photos at home or you can use Sumo Paint online.

You will work on two assignments at once, sometimes three. The Composition assignments are to be completed on your own time, outside of school. You will also have projects to work on, in class, daily.

While many phones have good cameras now, **do not use your phone to take pictures for the Compositions assignment**.

Don't forget, you need to provide a camera for this course.
