Forever Learning Institute

This is not a class on technologies & apps. for picture manipulation and editing. Rather, it’s all about Taking Great Pictures. What makes a good picture? Why are some pictures bland and others of the same subject more appealing? What catches our eye? Students will learn about and experiment with composition, framing, perspective, light & shadow, contrast and other elements of picture-taking through instruction and assignments, followed by sharing & critiquing pictures they have taken. They will also develop new ways of looking at the world around them. Digital cameras and cell-phone cameras are both fine. $15 course fee due at the first class.
