Immerse yourself in photography this summer!

Middle and high school students will learn the art of photography during a 1-week summer camp (cameras provided by AANM), designed to help students share stories about their lives, community and culture, using elements of social justice and empowerment. This year’s theme is about home and community – what does home look like for you? With the help of local, expert photographers, students will narrate and document their reality through photography and develop skills in composition, lighting, composition and storytelling. The curriculum includes: visual presentations, photographic challenges, discussions, critiques, guest artist visits and daily field trips around metro Detroit.
Bring a bag lunch and get ready to take in the photographic scenes around metro Detroit! There will be a pizza celebration on the last day. Students’ work will be celebrated in the Museum’s annual Student Photography Exhibition. 
$150 AANM Members / $180 general public / ACCESS Staff: 25% off

This is a great tool to help expand creative thinking from the 2D to 3D formats, along with how to make the image pop off the page… Image result for pop up book animation
