Equipment Brings Art Into The Digital Age

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!
