My children volunteered for the college entrance examination. He is interested in photo photography and is worried that this major only teaches theory. What should I do?

First of all, you can explain the curriculum of photography to your child. Most photography majors will include some basic theoretical courses, such as photography technology, photography history, art theory and so on, all of which are to help students better understand and master photography. In addition, many photography majors will offer practical courses, such as darkroom operation, film processing and digital post-processing. Let students have the opportunity to practice with their own hands.

Secondly, children can be advised to know about the teaching quality and teaching staff of the school. If the school has an excellent team of teachers who will not only teach theoretical knowledge, but also guide students to practice, then children's worries can be alleviated.

Finally, you can encourage your children to visit the school on the spot. If possible, children can even attend school open days or photography workshops, so that children can understand the actual situation of their majors more intuitively.

Generally speaking, although photography major may involve the study of some theoretical knowledge, it does not mean that it only teaches theory. As long as a child is passionate about photography and willing to invest time and energy in his studies, then he can master solid photography skills in college.
