Downloading/Organizing Photos

Today we are going to finish downloading the portraits from the previous class. After you have downloaded 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.

If you have time, go to the district site and change your password from the default. www.sd35.bc.ca/passwords you will be asked to type in your default password, then create a new password that you will remember; it must be 8+ characters, have lower or UPPER cased letters, 1234numbers, and #$ symbols in it. Good luck!

Portraits & Interviews

Today we are going to start by looking at the course outlines on my class web site.
Then we will finish taking the portraits and interviews from previous day,
Then we are going to sign in to the computers and download the photos into your personal account and then save one photo of each of your group members to the "SHARE" folder on the Network.
We then will share the photos and interviews.

If we have time, I will introduce the JR project more.

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" LFAS community project to communicate why the Arts matter to us.

First we are going to take photos of fellow classmates to practice how to 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 all of us.
