Photography Classes

Over the past 8 months I have offered a few different photography classes to a few different groups of kids. My first adventure in teaching was with Kapka, a cooperative K-5 school where my new found friend, Marcia, teaches. I came in once a week for Create and Explore Hour and led Photography Club. Kids had the choice to join us for an hour photography class or any of the multiple activities offered at the same time. I had an average of 5 kids each class and we learned about everything from composition to portraits to photo walks and showing emotion in photos. The main message we wanted to teach is How to Tell A Story. All photography tells a story, but how? What does it say? We also wanted to portray that everyone's life is unique and different across the globe or across the city. Where do you live? What do you eat? How do you celebrate Thanksgiving? The next few posts will be Kapka posts, followed by an explanation of my other photography class at the Tintinger household.

Here's a quick collage of some of the kids I taught at Kapka
