About
Click is a bi-weekly assignment that asks photography students to explore composition, meaning, technical skills using digital photography based off of a single word or phrase prompt. Students can use any type of camera with digital capabilities, from their cell phones, to point and shoots, to DSLRs. These assignments can be completely open to interpretation, much like a visual journal, or very literal which require students to follow certain directions. |
