Today marks the first day of The ViewFinder Project 2. This week is for students who have previously taken photography classes at the LYN House. Each day the kids will be given a new challenge where they will have to put their skills to use. Today was all about collages. Before the kids set out on the photography adventure we had a refresher on how to take good pictures. The kids were reminded to get creative, take multiple shots of the same subject, and to even take pictures on their bellies.
Below are each of the student’s collages, and also a description of where they took the pictures, why they chose the location, why it is important to the community, and what they like about their creation.
"I chose Pogue's Run because of its unique colors. It is important to the neighborhood because it is an organic food source for the community. The thing I like most about my collage are the vibrant colors." Ryan, age 15
"I chose The Little Green Bean Boutique because the name was interesting and I wanted to see the inside of it. The Little Green Bean is important to our community because it has clothes for babies, and it is nice to see small businesses in our community. I like my collage because it shows various aspects of The Little Green Bean Boutique. It also has very bright colors that pop right out of the collage." Amir, age 15
"We chose the church (First Free Methodist) because it is an important figure in our community. People come to church for peace and comfort and it means a lot to our community. The church is a safe place for our community where we know no one will judge us on our mistakes and our pasts. The church welcomes everyone with open arms. Our collage captures every essence of our church- the music, the scripture, the representation of God shining through our church, and the sense of community our church gives." Alisha, age 14 and Nick, age 12
