Today is the day. The mentoring students did such an awesome job, what an experience for all.
It Works...
Over the course of twelve weeks, eleven students have delved wholeheartedly into the world of photography under the guidance of professional photographer, Laurie Klein. They have learned all of the elements for taking a unique and moving photograph; and put that knowledge to use through evaluations and critiques to explore why something "works."
Finding why an image works, or does not work, has been a major focus over this mentoring program. Telling an artist that you "like" a piece of their work does not contribute to their learning process, and will usually tell more about the viewer than the work itself. Instead, discussing what makes the picture strong, will further the student's knowledge about themselves and their art.
With that, we invite you to view the works of these talented young artists with an opening reception at the Mayor's Office in Danbury. Thursday, December 17th
4:30-7:30 pm.
The Mayor's Office is located on 155 Deer Hill Avenue in Danbury. The showing will be on the third floor, and parking is available in their lot. This event is free and open to the public. Please come and celebrate these students' incredible accomplishment. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit will run for three weeks and will be up until January 7th during business hours.
