Facilitated by Christopher Lopez

Embrace your inner artist with this photography workshop at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Students will learn about photography and how to use the provided cameras. Afterward, the group will explore Inwood and take photographs following a selected theme. One photograph will be selected from each student to be exhibited at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum!

Students will learn to understand photographic form and use related vocabulary to support their analyses of photographs, as well as articulate the process of creating meaning through form, content, and context. Students will expand their visual literacy by learning to look, and by decoding images reviewed in class and encoding these ideas into their own original photographs outside of class in the surrounding area. The students will be asked to see the Dyckman community as a principal subject. Through direct involvement with the camera they will be asked to create unique visual images that articulate the varied aesthetics of the community.
