As summer approaches, the days get longer, the weather gets warmer, and the temptation to kick back and relax becomes irresistible. But what if instead of spending your summer days lounging around, you could use this time to enhance your skills and pursue your passion for art and photography? At Atelier School Of Art, we believe that summer is the perfect opportunity for high school students to elevate their art and unleash their creativity through our high school summer programming.
Photography Workshops:
Photography workshops are like stepping stones into the mesmerizing world of capturing moments and telling stories through images. Think of it as a fun and interactive crash course where you get to unlock the secrets behind taking stunning photos. Led by renowned instructor Susan Lucas, these workshops offer a remarkable opportunity to learn from one of the most successful figures in the field. With Susan’s guidance, students will delve into the basics of photography, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the craft. Additionally, participants will learn essential photo editing skills using Photoshop and explore techniques for photographing their personal artwork for college admissions using SlideRoom.
Furthermore, both intensives will culminate in a high school exhibition on July 26th at Atelier, providing students with a platform to showcase their newfound skills and creativity.
You’ll learn how to play with light, adjust your camera settings, and frame your shots to create captivating images that pop. It’s not just about clicking buttons and hoping for the best – it’s about mastering the art of storytelling through your lens. Plus, you’ll get to explore different techniques and styles, from portrait photography to landscape shots, so you can find your own unique voice as a photographer.
But it’s not all technical stuff. These workshops are also a great opportunity to meet other aspiring photographers, share tips and tricks, and geek out over your favorite camera gear. It’s like joining a little photography community where everyone is there to support and inspire each other.
And the best part? You don’t need fancy equipment or years of experience to join in. Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been snapping photos for years, there’s something for everyone in a photography workshop. So why not grab your camera (or smartphone) and dive into the wonderful world of photography? Who knows, you might just discover a new passion that’ll stick with you for life.
