Photography: Scavenger Hunts and Collections

A photography scavenger hunt class! 

In this week-long class, students ages 6-12 will use a variety of cameras (point and shoot, digital, smartphone, and film cameras!) to learn and practice photography!  We will briefly learn about different types of cameras, including point-and-shoot, film SLR cameras, DSLR cameras, and how they all work, and then really explore our spaces and places around us! We will take photos of various collections in these scavenger hunts - like patterns, lines, and color! We will also practice various perspectives and even do a little portrait photography.  We will tour around the gallery, around the building, and also up and down Wealthy Street.  (Students will have the teacher and also two assistants for support) We may even do photo collage work from our own photos! 

Note:  this class is slightly more expensive as it includes the developing of the film.

Students can expect to

• learn about different camera types and parts of a camera 
• understand perspective, line, and composition!
• find why we love taking photos! - everyone's reason is a little different 
• develop a collection of photos to be proud of
• be like our famous photographer friends and try ideas inspired by their work! 

Skill Level:

Beginner to our artistic friends who have had more experience.  We recommend that students arrive ready to explore and create! Bring your imagination!  

Materials:

All materials, including cameras, and snacks are included in this course. Students may bring their cameras from home (smartphone, DSLR, or film) as well. We do recommend that students bring a water bottle labeled with their name.
