This course will touch on the origins of photography, as students will have exposure to both digital and darkroom photographic processes. Conceptually we will touch on themes of community, identity and expression. We will look at established photographers and the history of visual culture. Students will walk away with digital and black and white darkroom prints.

At the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, high school students can expand their artistic practice, grow their personal portfolios and prepare for art school. Take an Art League class and get the chance to work in professional studios, alongside working artists.

An in-depth knowledge of the medium

One-on-one coaching intended to help you discover your own personal style
