Testimonial

"Thank you again for being part of our department professional development day. You inspired many of the staff members. I received a lot of great feedback! The staff was so happy to do something hands on and interactive. I look forward to working with you more in the future."

Leslie - Director of Fine and Performing Arts, Hamden Public Schools

Description

“Through The Lens” workshops and residencies provide students with a creative outlet that inspires them to connect with the subjects they are studying from a different perspective. We give students a chance to be creative with cameras as well as heightening connection to their community and environment. Students learn by experiencing hands-on projects and reflections on their work as a group. Because of the universal applications for photography there are many potential science and literacy connections for schools to choose from. Craig brings enough cameras up to 18 students.

Objectives
