Fall 2023 – School Supplies Electives
Stitching Arts:
Depending on class size, we’ll take a field trip to learn how to budget for and purchase materials. (Students should be prepared to pay for those optional supplies themselves). Apparel construction and machine sewing are options for advanced students.
Film Editing:
To participate in the class, students MUST have a working computer with a full (non-trial) version of Adobe Elements installed. Also required, a working video camera, not just a cellphone. Video cameras have dropped significantly in price – here’s an example available from Amazon for around $100.
Supplies required for film editing:
- Laptop
- Adobe Premiere Elements loaded onto laptop (Here’s the link to the educational purchase – the offer contains both Adobe Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements for $79.99).
- Dedicated video camera (not a phone)
Robotics:
A laptop or table
Presentations:
A laptop or tablet (all written work will be produced in google docs on the school drive)
