Experimenting in the Visual Laboratory: Let’s Play!
Jump-start your creativity this summer by exploring the immense possibilities of taking new and different pictures. Get out of your comfort zone and produce images that will surprise you! Each week we’ll experiment with a different tool or idea — composition, type of camera, different lighting styles, images inspired by words, and more — there are so many elements that can inspire us to exercise our visual creativity. We’ll look at the work of different artists for inspiration, and how you can use these new tools we’re discovering and experimenting with on a possible long-term project. You’ll be challenged each week with a new exploratory assignment and have fun doing it!
