Photography: Developing Your Vision
Jun 13 - 17, 2022
9AM-3PM
Concept
For children with an interest in the visual world around them, a camera may be the best tool to capture that curiosity. This workshop is a photographic exploration filled with lessons and activities aimed to help students understand photography’s ability to frame not just a composition, but a human story. The course covers the history of image-making, practicing cyanotype processes and works up to today’s digital technologies. Taking advantage of the Anderson Ranch campus, students create unique photographs and prints that may spark a lifetime of image-making.

Join for a single day or the whole week! Whiz, Whoosh, Zoom! Art in Action. Get ready to move, make, and imagine! In this high-energy workshop, we explore the exciting world of motion through art. From flowing rivers and twisting roads to flying machines and spinning surprises, each day brings a new adventure. We’ll sculpt clay boats, build tunnels, fly hand-crafted kites, and create mesmerizing zoetropes. Using Ozobots, topographic maps, recycled treasures, and vibrant paints, we’ll invent whimsical machines and kinetic creations. Through sculpture, collage, and playful invention, we’ll turn movement into magic. At the end of the week, we’ll celebrate with a special gallery show featuring all our action-packed artworks!
