My Project

I want them to experience the difference between taking pictures with their phone and creating works of art with a camera and photoshop. They will learn how to look at things and truly explore everything about it. They will learn how to tell a story with a photograph. They will learn what is beyond instagram, their phones and twitter. My goal is to make a high quality camera available to them as much as possible.

These cameras will afford my students many art-making possibilities and will present their work in the best ways possible.

By having more available for more students I will be able to ensure that all my students are receiving the same wonderful learning experiences!

Ms. Finley
Grades 9-12
  • J.F. Kennedy High School
