Digital Art and Photography
1st Quarter Edition, October 2015
A great first quarter!
It's hard to believe that the first quarter is already behind us! I have been extremely impressed by the work being done by students in the first ever BHS Digital Art and Photography classes. Scroll down for some news and important information!
Project 1: Secret Worlds
As an introductory learning project, students took pictures of various toys, action figures, etc. Students learned basic use of the digital camera and were introduced to Photoshop.
Project 2: Cubist Collages
Students created their own images inspired by Cubism and Pop Artist David Hockney. Through the project they learned how to arrange multiple images into one picture.
Project 3: Word Pictures
Our current project is inspired by contemporary Iranian artist Sherin Neshat (see photograph below). Students chose pieces of text, like quotes and lyrics, to incorporate into a photograph that gives added meaning to the text. The projects are well under way, so keep an eye out!

Moving forward
You might be wondering where we go from here? We will be doing a few more projects, some of which will take a graphic design spin. We will also begin printing images and storing them in a portfolio to document student growth and accomplishments.
If your son or daughter is enjoying the class but is not signed up for level 2 in the spring, encourage them to sign up for it next school year!
I want to hear your story!
If your son or daughter has come home and shared something exciting that happened in class, or showed off their project, I'd love to hear about it!
