Course Description:
Using smartphone cameras is a fun, easy and creative introduction to photography. This workshop, best for teens ages 11-14, will discuss basic rules of composition, camera controls, and telling stories through smartphone image-making. These skills will be practiced through daily photo walks to capture images, and adjusting/enhancing images through in-app editing .
Students will have a chance to print 4 of their favorite images during the week. Parents, friends and family are encouraged to attend the final slide show of student work on Friday June 23 at 11:30 am (at the new CPAC gallery!)
