Description

In the "Photography as Visual Storytelling" course, students will explore the power of photography as a tool for conveying narratives, emotions, and perspectives. Over the span of four weeks, students will be guided through various types of storytelling techniques, including thematic, sequential, and character-driven photography. Students will have walking tours to capture their surroundings, focusing on elements like line and texture, and will have both simple and more complex assignments tailored to their skill level.

Course Outcomes for Elementary Students

Understanding of composition and framing
Grasp of storytelling techniques in photography
Skills in thematic and sequential photography
Line and texture capturing
Basic camera operation and safety

 

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.
