Photography Composition Unit
By Color Me Creative Art Room
Teach students the foundations of photography without requiring expensive camera equipment. This 63-page beginner-friendly photography unit helps students take stronger, more intentional photographs using smartphones, school Chromebooks, tablets, or classroom cameras. Students learn basic camera skills, explore major composition techniques, complete hands-on photography challenges, practice planning and reflection, participate in critiques, and finish the unit with one of three final photography projects.
