The Art of Photography: A Hands-On Creative Journey into Visual Storytelling – Live Online Class for Ages 10-12
This isn’t just a photography class—it’s an introduction to using the camera as a tool for creative exploration. In this seven-week immersive course, students will go beyond just taking pictures. They’ll learn how to see the world differently, develop their artistic instincts, and use photography to tell compelling visual stories.
What Makes This Course Different?
More Than Just Camera Skills: Instead of simply teaching students how to use a camera, this course introduces them to the core artistic elements of visual design, helping them think like artists and storytellers.
Thematic Image Creation: Students will engage in hands-on projects, learning to develop themes and craft images that have meaning and emotional depth.
Personalized Feedback: Each student receives valuable one-on-one guidance to help them refine their creative voice.
Most beginner photography classes focus on technical mechanics—this one focuses on creative expression. If you want your child to learn how to communicate visually, think artistically, and create photography that resonates, this is the class for them.
