Recommended for Ages 8 - 12
Exploring Photography!
Thursdays at 4:45 pm - 5:45pm MST
Jan 26 - Feb 16
A great introduction to photography for 8 - 12 year olds!
We will seek new perspectives for our subjects, talk about elements of design and play with different composition techniques in this intro photography course. Kids will combine these new photo concepts with storytelling about things that are important to them. Together it makes for an impactful course that grows kids confidence in sharing their unique voice.
There will be loads of examples to learn from, time to take photos during class and challenges to work on during the week. We'll also share and discuss the photos kids take in the next class.
This class can be taken with a phone or a camera.
Choose ROCK YOUR CAMERA course if you'd like to learn about manual settings and how to take control over your camera.
