ROCK YOUR FRAME Online Class

Tuesdays  4:30 - 5:45pm  MST
January 18th - Feb 8

This interactive, online photography course encourages kids to explore different composition techniques to express their amazing ideas and create effective images!   How we arrange different elements in our photograph is key to creating a great image.  The decisions we make about what to include and exclude, how to draw our eye to what we want to emphasize and creating balance in our image make a huge difference in what our end photo looks like.   By the end of the course, kids will have a number of composition tools they can choose from to tell their photographic story.
