Landscape Photography for Middle Schoolers
For 10-15 yrs old
Come celebrate Vermont’s blaze of fall color with us this year!
In this photography class for older children, we will review the basics of photo composition, the basics of aperture and shutter speed, as well as tips for taking interesting photos of beautiful places. They will also learn how to manipulate aperture and shutter speeds to create surprising works of art, and learn how to calculate hyperfocal distances and how to manually focus their cameras.
Kids will practice their new skills on teacher-guided tours and hikes around Montpelier to capture the scenic heart of our capitol city. Back in the studio, kids will learn how to edit and crop photos in Photoshop to create true works of art.
Children will need to bring their own digital cameras to the studio. Any digital camera will do: an old point-and-shoot camera or whatever else you may have! Let us know if your child may need to use a studio camera for class. Please do not bring cell phones or tablets for class (we’ve found they can be distracting!)
Children will all have the chance to display their photographs as part of our Winter Artist’ Showcase.
This class will involve hiking into Hubbard Park and other naturally stunning locations in Montpelier; children should come to class prepared to walk!
This class will run for 13 weeks, each week building on the prior week’s work. Class will begin at Wilder Arts Studio between 3-3:30pm, or some classes, we may meet at MSMS and hike from there.
