For 2 weeks in May and June I facilitated a PHOTOART workshop with Grade 3, 4, 5 and 6 classes at Bayridge Public School. The aim of the project was for the students to photograph subjects around the school that reflected the theme of "My Canada includes". Students learned how to edit and enhance their photographs, were required to write a "My Canada includes" statement and take portraits of each other. I designed 8.5 x 11 inch profile pages for each student, featuring the student’s portrait, “My Canada includes” photograph and statement, and, created 5, 16 x 20 inch class posters featuring all “My Canada includes” images.
Toronto Star Touch is hosting a photo contest throughout 2017 featuring a new category each month. Judges are looking for photographers who demonstrate a keen eye, and images that have impact, originality and creativity. I have been fortunate enough to have 5 of my entries featured on Star Touch The City front page.
