My Project

Every high school art student must learn the importance of taking and maintaining photographs of their work: something every professional artist does. Each year in the the arts department we teach our students how to take the best photos they can with what they have. These studio light boxes will allow our students to take higher quality photographs that will be used for daily assignments, portfolios, college & scholarship applications, and much more! These studio light boxes would not only help the students in my classroom, but would be available to all of our visual arts students on campus.
