Free Words and Images Workshop for Teens
Free Workshop for Teens 13-20
Capturing a Sense of Place 2: Words and Images
Location: Tacoma Main Library – Olympic Room Event Type: StoryLab
Date: 1/21/2012
Start Time: 9:30 AM
End Time: 5:30 PM Description:
In 247 words or less what is your favorite place to hang out in Tacoma? Why? What’s it like? How does it make you feel? What’s unique about it? Do you have a special memory of the place that keeps you coming back? How can you best capture those thoughts and feelings in photographs and words that complement and add to the story you are telling?
Two working artists – photographer Jesse Michener (Jesse Michener Photography) and author May Boone (Mary Boone Writes) guide you through the nuts and bolts of creating compelling photo essays in this day-long, very hands-on workshop. You will learn the power of sparse elegance, how to draw out the emotions within the story and use that as a connecting point, and how to plan your shots with the story you want to tell. You will learn to see everything around you and techniques to identify and focus on the essential visual elements. You will learn to tell compelling stories through your work.
9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Attendance is limited to teens ages 13 – 20
Dress comfortably for the weather
Lunch is provided.
