Join us for a photography class for ages 6-12! We will learn about the science behind the camera--then take our own shots!
How long is a second or a part of a second, what is the fastest someone can move in a second...and how do you record that on a camera? In this workshop, participants investigate fractions and the basic concepts of math by playing games and taking photos and changing shutter speed. What happens when you take a photo for 1 full second versus 1/50th of a second versus 1/4000th of a second - does the camera freeze the motion or capture the motion? Our visiting artist, Jessica Wallach, will bring digital cameras that participants can experiment with by taking photos and videos that capture and freeze motion. Participants will leave with digital photos in hand. This event is a part of a partnership with Story Tapestries.
This event is recommended for ages 6 and up.
