Students will use these digital cameras to record their personal experiences with nature during Outdoor, Nature-based Art classes. Students will be taught how to artistically use a digital camera to express their experiences and thoughts. Students will download these images onto Chrome books for further transformations and artistic expressions. This donation will allow all of our Pk-5 grade students to have equal access to digital photography. Digital photography is a wonderful medium for both experiencing the world and expressing an artist vision. The students have been asking for cameras to use outside.
