Then sessions on techniques & equipment for landscape, portrait, travel, sports, still life, theater/concerts, and macro photography. Finally, suggestions on what cameras, lenses, and accessories to buy used and new and where to buy. Four weekly sessions.
Each course is $20 … Pre-register online! Select only the sessions you can attend. Can’t make it one day of the month? Don’t pick that day! Want to buy all four at once? Check them all.
A multi-day membership of $10 added for non Greene County Maker members.
Session 1 (of 4)
Why take a photography course? Course overview, terminology (handout) & limits of the medium (why don’t my vacation pictures look like the ones in the brochure?) Then some basics: camera types, lenses (what do all those numbers mean?), what’s a sensor & what about those megapixels? Basic camera settings & what they do: aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc., but don’t worry, it’s logical, linear, & you only have to learn it once.
Session 2 (of 4)
A few more nuts & bolts so we can get to the creative stuff. Autofocus, white balance, color basics, flash, filters, file types, light & then….COMPOSITION…..yes it’s that important.
Session 3 (of 4)
Review/questions on sessions 1 & 2. Now the fun stuff: Techniques & kit (that’s equipment) for landscape, portrait, sports, & still life photography.
Session 4 (of 4)
Techniques & kit suggestions for travel, stage (theater), & macro photography. What to buy (used & new) & where to buy it. Magazine & website suggestions. Overview of photo editing software. Recommendations for computers & monitors for photo editing.

Tangle Art
2024-07-09 10:00 - 11:30 | Greene County Makers, 310 S Cutler Street, Greeneville, TN, 37743, United States
Relax and enjoy the process as we use tangles, or repetitive patterns, to create small abstract works of art. There will be two classes, one on Tuesday, July 2, and the second class on Tuesday, July 9.
In the first class, we will learn the jargon, the process, and five beginner tangles as we acquaint ourselves with tangle art. In the second class, we will experiment with using highlights, applying tangles to other types of art, staining our tiles with tea, pounded flower petals, and other natural items, and finding resources for adding new tangles to our repertoire.
Cost : $15 per class
Materials I will provide:

tiles (paper) of varying sizes and colors
watercolor paper

Materials you will need to purchase to bring to class:

Sakura Pigma Micron Pens (any size you wish – I use .01, .03, .05, and 1), black
NOTE: You may use any brand of archival, waterproof, quick-drying black pen. Also, if you enjoy this style of drawing, you may want to purchase a brown pen or other colors as you desire.
#2 graphite pencil, NO ERASER NEEDED
pencil with soft lead (2B to 8B range), your preference
Jelly Roll or any brand white ink pen (archival, waterproof) for highlighting and use on black tiles
Blending stump or tortillion
