Walkersville High – Digital Photography 6

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students are expected to provide their own USB flash drive (or similar device subject to teacher approval) for maintaining working files as well as final products. All such storage devices will be governed by the FCPS standard operating procedure for student use of technology storage devices. Students photograph, manipulate, and print a wide variety of quality digital photographic artworks to create a process portfolio (a collection of finished artworks, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts, notes, and critiques). They study photographic history, the elements of art and principles of design, critiquing, and aesthetics. Activities include an introduction to the camera, the use of Adobe Photoshop software, and experience with digital printing techniques. In Digital Photography 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, students work on increasingly more individual and independent projects in all phases of digital photography, resulting in a varied and complex collection of art projects to be maintained in the art portfolio.
