Art Department Purchases New Equipment

Three new MacBooks will be a digital darkroom for students to edit and prepare their images.

After months of fund raising, which included some inventive approaches and plenty of hard work on the part of students, the art department was finally able to purchase a new digital SLR camera, 3 MacBooks and a mobile lab cart.

The addition of a new Canon Rebel XTi now brings our total to 2 fully adjustable SLR cameras

The opening of a student co-operative art gallery in downtown Wingham for the month of December was the final stage in 6 months of fund raising efforts to help equip the digital photography class to meet the challenges of the new media generation.

Although we still have a long way to go to fully equip our classroom we are certainly headed in the right direction!

New Semester Starts

Things may have been a little delayed but semester two will start- eventually!

This semester we start the new AWQ 4M Digital Photography course. Our fundraising efforts have been successful and we were able to purchase some equipment for this class!

We will have 3 new Macbook laptops and a second digital SLR camera as well as a secure mobile lab cart to store everything. This is a wonderful start to equipping our photography studio, but we will continue to raise money for more laptops, cameras and additional supplies such as different lens, lights and tripods.

You will notice that links to individual classes are in the column on the right. Here you will find pdf versions of our student workbooks, course information and due dates for assignments. Good luck with second semester arts courses!
