Description

"Introduction to Photography for Kids" is a four-week course designed to provide young learners with a comprehensive understanding of photography as an art form. In this 1.5-hour per session class, children aged 6-12 will learn the fundamentals of photography, including basic camera operation, composition, and understanding light. The course aims to offer an engaging and interactive learning environment where students can practice their skills through hands-on activities such as portrait photography, nature shoots, and storytelling through images. The end goal is to empower the students to see the world through a different lens and express themselves creatively.

Course Outcomes for Elementary Students

  • Basic camera operations
  • Understanding of composition
  • Techniques for utilizing natural light
  • Different styles of photography (portrait, nature, storytelling)

Requirements - 
A curious and interested mind, no experience is necessary for this course.  

Materials - 
We will be emailing students to see if they have cameras available.  We will have a variety of film cameras to use for the duration of the class, but if students would like to use ours exclusively they may! 

Note - 

This class has a slightly higher fee due to the materials cost and also because it is an hour and a half per session.
