Painting with a Camera Workshops
Painting with a Camera is a series of workshops that enable students to move beyond ‘taking pictures’ and towards creating images with a personal style. The workshops promote the use of photography as a means of self-expression. Lectures, examples, demonstrations and exercises highlight the varieties of expression which photography is capable of. Each class also simply explains technical matters. There will be a class blog and simple internet activities.
Emphasizing the development of a personal approach to photography, Painting with a Camera is recommended for those interested in photography, travel, poetry, design and visual communication. Students are encouraged to bring in work for critique.
Please note:
-in order to make the workshops as interesting as possible, participants are asked to fill out a short questionnaire about their background, camera and interests
-a brief email bulletin is sent to each participant before each workshop. The email contains websites and ideas related to the topic to be discussed
-depending upon interest, there is the possibility of a group exhibition at the instinct gallery. There would be an extra charge for this.
