DPC 2011-2012

DPC members will be performing service projects for our school. Students have taken pictures both for the Yearbook and for the website. They will work on tasks given to them by Mrs. Barrett for the Yearbook. These include group photos of PTA clubs, event photos (Sock Hop, etc...) and other miscellaneous tasks. Also, when possible, DPC students are assigned events to photograph at the school. These are used not only in the yearbook, but also, on our website and other publications created at Madison Street.

We have been experimenting with different elements of art and photography this session. Students have taken photographs exploring, texture, patterns, point of view and more. Along with this students are learning macro, flash and zoom techniques.
