It's easy to take a picture of a person, but not always as simple to capture that person's character. We'll tackle the question of what makes a compelling portrait and explore film photography. We'll create portraits with studio lighting and take field trips to learn about natural light portraiture. Students will also print their photographs in the darkroom. Bring your own film camera or borrow one of ours!

  • Artventure classes are confirmed two weeks in advance. All materials are provided.
