Testimonial

"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."

Description

Students get hands-on learning and creative experiences with cameras while exploring various scientific aspects of water to better understand the water cycle and conservation. All projects are based on researching, observing, photographing and creating artistic projects that involve the water cycle. When possible, we visit nearby natural habitats such as a marsh, lake or river to capture the environments from both scientific and artistic perspectives. The residency can include professional development for the teachers and culminates with an exhibit of students’ projects.

Objectives

Students will:
* Learn about cameras and how to take great photos
* Learn about the water cycle and conservation
* Document the states of water from scientific and creative perspectives
