What does photography offer Students?
“Give a Child the Gift of Photography and you Give a Child a Key that Can Open New Doors to…”
Creative Expression, New Perspectives, Confidence, Artistic Achievement & FUN!
New Perspectives
It encourages our children to take closer looks and whole new ways of looking at things.
Decision Making Skills
Before taking a picture, our children ask questions like… What is the main subject here? What part should I focus on? What angle do I want? What do I want this photograph to tell others about how I see this subject?
Art & Science Appreciation
Photography is both art and science. As an art, photography is a marvelous tool of creative, self-expression.
And as photo-journalists know, a photograph can open a person’s mind or even change it. Photography communicates.
Photography is a wonderful technical tool, teaching lessons in science (light, math, etc.) and computer skills.
Confidence
Besides the confidence gained from mastering a new skill and creative expression, learning to take good pictures can also do wonders for children who are shy because photography is one of those skills that make it easier to take part in activities that otherwise might leave a shy child hiding in the background.
As a teacher, I might appoint the young photographer to take pictures at a classroom party. An older child may find taking pictures for the school paper is fun and that “hiding behind the camera” makes it so much easier to get to know others.
Pride & Satisfaction
Imagine a child’s satisfaction and pride in seeing how his/her pictures affect others.
Fun!
But most of all, photography, especially digital photography, is just plain fun.
I believe the best way to teach photography to children is by providing them with lessons that provide “hands on experience”. Sitting down to read a complicated manual or long winded book can be very boring for kids who want to get right to the fun.
Unlike grownups, kids can grasp new subjects like photography fairly easy, given the right kind of instruction and instructor.
I am that right kind of instructor and my After School Photography Courses/Clubs provide children with this right type of instruction “hands on learning” while having fun.
Photography students practice newly learned skills such as: focusing, composition and depth of field
