Brief Description: 12065 • Get the Picture? The Math, Science, and Art of Photography

Shutter speed, aperture diameter, depth of field…who knew there was so much math and science involved in taking a high-quality photograph? Discover how this unique art form can provide an ideal vehicle for strengthening math and science skills while enhancing creativity in all students. Understand how photographers not only record what is visual but create and preserve a sense of time and place. Likewise, photographers use high-level critical thinking skills as they identify problems and explore new solutions. Experiment with the variables of distance, light, and field of view as you explore and photograph the cabins and creeks of western North Carolina. This seminar will change the way you view and take pictures. No prior training in photography is necessary; however, participants must provide their own 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera.
