Benefits of Digital Photography Extolled in KCVI Workshop
This semester the Grade 12 photography classes at Kingston Collegiate and Loyalist Collegiate participated in photography workshops with retired teacher and photographer, Karen Dolan.
The photographs are extraordinary visual examples of the students’ creative interpretations of their everyday and ordinary surroundings. This body of work communicates a maturity and confidence normally seen in the work of more seasoned professionals.
“The creative energy, the level of participation and the work produced, as a result of this workshop experience, has been impressive and inspiring. It has been a pleasure to observe the students? transformation into accomplished photographers,” states Dolan. “As well, by actively participating in the exhibition and official opening, students will experience the many benefits of showing their art to the public.”
As part of the culminating activities of this project, students prepared:
- One photograph for a professionally designed large format, class poster
- Six photographs and personal artist statements for publication in a professional hard cover book.
- Two, 13 x 19 inch photographs, to be framed for gallery show and sale
- Five images, with an artist quote, to be featured on photographic art cards.
The public exhibit will be held June 4 – 16, 2011 at the Kingston School of Art Window Art Gallery, 647a Princess Street. The show opening on Saturday, June 4th will take place from 7:30 to 9:00 pm.
Both workshops were made possible by funding and support from the Limestone Learning Foundation, the Limestone District School Board, Loyalist Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute and Specialist High Skills Major. Classroom teachers are Susan Beyette, photography teacher, KCVI and Rebecca Lupton, photography teacher, LCVI.
