Snap Shooters

SNAP SHOOTERS:KIDS Photo Classes


Working with Artists, Denver’s premier non-profit, fine art photography school and gallery, is pleased to present a series of kids’ classes entitled “Snap Shooters“, which will feature classes for both elementary and middle school aged children. There is a $5 suggested donation for each class. Occurring on the second Saturday of each month, these youth workshops will teach kids to operate a camera, compose photographs, use light and shadow, look at shots from different angles, and consider color in their shots, to name just a few of the elements to be addressed. These two and half hour classes are meant to be enjoyed by all while learning the basics of camera operation.

Morning classes, from 9:00 am to 11:30 am will be geared specifically toward elementary school aged children; while afternoon classes, from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm will be designed for older kids. The series will culminate each year in a special Exhibit in the Working with Artists Studio during Kids Photo Week in October. Family and friends will be invited to this exhibit to share in their child’s/friend’s creative endeavors, and prints will be sold to benefit the WWA Kids’ Photography Program.

Upcoming Program Dates:

JUNE 12, 2010:
9-11:30a (ages 6-10 FULL) OR 1-3:30p (ages 11 & up)

“HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR BEST FRIEND”
How well do you know your best friend? In this class we will take pictures of people we know and like. Do you want to be close-up to her or far away? Does he like his feet? Does your friend make the best hats? Faces? Paper airplanes? You can show this in your photograph! Use the "frame" to make deeper friendships while you learn to really know your best friend.

JULY 10, 2010:
9-11:30a (ages 6-10) OR 1-3:30p (ages 11 & up)

“COLORS!!”
Focus on color! How do colors make you feel? Does green make you giggle? Does purple give you pride? The world around us is in color, so how do you want to capture it? We’ll venture out into Belmar to explore all the colors we can find with our cameras.

AUGUST 14, 2010:
9-11:30a (ages 6-10) OR 1-3:30p (ages 11 & up)

“EXPLORING FLOWERS”
Making close-up photographs of flowers is delightfully fun! Use your "perspective" to make the best floral photos you can! Get close, get down, get over, get them all! From hanging baskets to planters, Belmar will provide plenty of material for the photographs. You bring the imagination.

  


SEPTEMBER 11, 2010
9-11:30a (ages 6-10) OR 1-3:30p (ages 11 & up)

"UPSIDE DOWN / INSIDE OUT"

This class will teach you about abstract photography – photographing what’s not exactly real, or whole, or what doesn’t exactly make sense.  For example, you could take a picture of a part of a flower, or half of your big toe or the inside of a hat.  You might just want to take a picture of a color, or a shape or a texture.
Maybe you can jump while taking a picture.
At the end, we'll guess what the images are of. Surprise!

OCTOBER 11, 2010:

“Alphabet Soup”
Did you know that there are hidden alphabets in everyday surroundings, such as cities, parks, and homes? In this class, kids will take photographs which represent all the letters from A-Z. An apple could stand for “A,” a boat for the “B,” a car for the “C,” and so on. Kids will also hunt for things that look like actual letters, such as curvy, S-shaped branches or mountain peaks that look like upside-down W’s. Use your camera and imagination to show the alphabet in new, creative ways!
