The students actively follow along during the demonstration on their computers. The instructor then distributes new sample RAW files to the students for them to practice the techniques. During the classroom exercise, the instructor will help students as needed, and then instigates a follow-up discussion to reiterate the benefits of RAW files. Lecture: Instructor lectures on Color Theory and it’s context to art and photography. Specific examples are shown demonstrating topics such as Color Contrast, Analogous Harmony, Color Relativity, Advancing and Receding Colors, etc. During the lecture, students are engaged in the discussion and participate in analyzing the images displayed by the instructor. The instructor then assigns a specific color image to each student. The students will analyze their image and verbally report their findings to the class, discussing what color theory topics were found in their image. Distance Learning Instructor will create a video or PowerPoint presentation with audio on the creation of a script and storyboard.
