Our 8th graders dove into the world of photography, exploring the art of taking vs. making photos. Thanks to Mrs. McColl, professional photographer Josh Moates joined us to share his journey and passion for photography.
Learners got hands-on experience with different cameras, examined film up close, and learned how photography is all around us. Josh challenged learners to spot photography in their daily lives and encouraged them to take risks, discover their talents, and pursue what they love!
Huge thanks to Josh for inspiring our young artists! 🎉
