Cell Phone Photography & Digital Design
In this course your student will learn about the Principles of Design and how to utilize those design elements to create both good photographs and design work. We will be utilizing an art binder portfolio for this class that covers the elements of art, principles of design, an introduction to photoshop express and Canva. This class requires that your student has access to a cell phone or iPad with both Canva and Photoshop express. Both of these apps offer a free version or a premium subscription. For our use in this class the free should suffice. Your student will have photography homework prompts every week and will be printing out at least one photograph each week. We have a class printer; an ink account and photo paper are covered by the materials fee.

ABOUT TEACHER
Jennifer Kidd
B.S. Art Ed
Jennifer is excited to join the team of educators here at the Bridge. She has a Bachelors of Science in Art Education from VCU. She has taught in Virginia for over 10 years; at Jamestown High School and Colonial Heights High School. Jenn holds a current Va teaching license to teach art to K-12. One of her favorite traditions is never deleting photos off her phone. At this moment she has over 44,000 pictures saved on her phone. One of Jenn's favorite aspects of being a teacher is watching students' skills grow. In her 20 years span of teaching, she has had the opportunity to watch many of her students move into their desired art careers. Jenn's husband and four kids meanwhile, love using her home studio for their ping pong games, lego builds, and sometimes for making art; but mostly Lego.
