Description

This engaging four-week program introduces young artists aged 6-12 to the magical world of macro photography with a focus on nature. Students will learn the basics of photography and how to capture small details of the natural world, such as insects, flowers, and textures, through a macro lens. The course will help students develop their observational skills and their appreciation for the beauty found in small things. Both the process of capturing photos and the end product—a portfolio of their own macro photographs—are central to this course.

Course Outcomes for Elementary Students

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.
