My students need 5 digital cameras and rechargeable batteries for portfolio photography class.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nagler's classroom raised $894
This project is fully funded
Digital cameras are a huge asset to any art program, but are essential to a portfolio building photography class. I have over 150 art students and only 6 working cameras for students to use on their portfolios for college. I teach in a high needs school and we do not have the resources to purchase new cameras. Each day is a struggle to teach so many students digital photography with so few cameras that are embarrassingly out of date.
Whenever I give an assignment, it has been very difficult for my students to complete it on time when they are competing for time with the camera. In addition, when they upload their pictures to the computer, they are regularly disappointed by the low quality image.
A new fleet of digital cameras would do just the trick to improve my digital photography class. Cameras would increase the work capacity my students are capable of, as well as improve the finished images they produce. They will also be able to use these cameras to document all of their artwork in order to compile a competitive portfolio for college or beyond.
I have no doubt that with your help my students will have an enriching experience in photography class that will carry them into a better future. They will be empowered by the opportunity to take professional quality photographs and work even harder to succeed in my class. Your help will ensure that my students have a successful year and that my students next year will too! Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and contributing to a class of fantastic and appreciate students.
