Magic and Light: Exploring Photographic Techniques
Jul 4 - 8, 2022
9AM-3PM
Concept
AGES 7-10
Interested in a hands-on approach to art-making? This exploration of photographic techniques may be just the magic needed to spark a lifetime of image-making. This workshop is an exploration of historical processes combined with new digital techniques to make one-of-a-kind images. Students learn the importance of light and time by building pinhole cameras, practicing the cyanotype process, creating digital negatives, and exploring the fundamentals of the black and white printing. We take full advantage of the beauty of the Anderson Ranch campus while learning the fundamentals of picture making to create content for these amazing processes.
