Week 2: Line
A line can be long, a line can be short. A line can be thick, and a line can be thin. A line can lead you away, or it can move you forward. A line can be felt as restful, rigid, active, soothing, threatening, or safe. The emotional meanings of line cannot be overlooked.

Week 3: Texture
Perhaps no element of design is more capable of exuding deep emotion then texture. In our daily language, we use texture to describe most everything. A "rough day", a "soft landing", a "sharp mind", a "dull movie", a "sticky mess", a "smooth landing", and so on. From behind the camera, we can put all of this to work.

Week 4: Color
To really see and become an effective shooter of color, there is much to learn. Color has many, many messages and meanings. One must also become aware of color's visual weight and of the subsequent impact it has on line and shape. Understanding its varied hues and tones will prepare the way for the final arrangement - composition.

Week 5: The Rule of Thirds
Almost every photographer has heard of the rule of thirds, but without a real explanation. This has a grand effect on the image and is an important part of design.

Week 6: Backgrounds
Every photograph has a background, and even though it is the background it is VERY important. The background you choose to place your subject in front of is more a part of the overall image than you realize.

Week 7: Framing with a Frame and Working the Subject: Themes and Picture in Picture
These tools are a combination of things that will give you a new approach to the old subjects. This lesson is all about seeing the same subjects in a completely different way.

Week 8: Concepts
In this final lesson, we will take all that we "learned to see", and put those many elements of design together to communicate one thing. This is a challenge indeed!
