Elements of Design — Best for Grades 3–8
Principles of Design — Ideal as a follow-up or for Grades 7–11
Macro Photography — For students who have completed earlier workshops, or Grades 8–11

What Local Teachers Are Saying

“My students really enjoyed being out in nature and they learned a great deal about photography. They still ask to edit their pictures. They enjoyed every part of it and learned so much. I have already recommended it to other teachers that I work with.”

- Kim, St. Valentine Elementary School
“Excellent! The students enjoyed learning how to use a digital camera, being outside in nature (and paying close attention to elements of design in nature), and viewing/editing their photos. Many students expressed that it was "the best day ever!"”

-Sonia, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic
“The program covers the Elements of Design in a very creative and interesting way by using photography. It was very hands-on and valuable experience for my students. "

- Mirella, Sacred Heart Catholic Elementary School
