WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Defining School
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Defining a "school of photography"...whether it refers to an artistic movement (like the Dusseldorf School) or formal education...is important because it establishes historical context, aesthetic standards, and technical baselines. It gives photographers a shared visual language, helps validate their work in galleries or the industry, and provides a framework for critical analysis.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing photographs!
