1st Portraits

Today we are going to take simple portraits of your class-mates and interview each other. After your interview and portrait session, you are to download your portrait to your file, re-name it by the name of the person in the photo and then save the best (one each) to the "SHARE" folder. Make a new folder in your personal space and call it "PHOTO" save all of your Photography class work there. Then we are going to share the portraits with the class. Remember your interview questions:

• Name,
• Major,
• Something you did during the summer,
• Your 1st photo memory.

Welcome to Photography

Arts Matter at LFAS. This year, you will notice some extra energy around the arts with the Arts Matter lecture series where artists from all across Canada will share experience and ideas and why the "Arts Matter" to them. We are going to start the year with an "Arts Matter" Portrait project to communicate why the Arts matter to us. Then we are going to take photos of fellow classmates to practice and communicate why the Arts Matter to them. And then we are going to go further to explore the LFAS community and why the Arts Matter to us.
