Beyond the selfie
Day 1
Hello I'm very excited to meet everyone and share with you my love of making photographs.
Today we will be getting to know each other and our camera. The weather is cooperating so we will be taking a photo walk. Stay tuned.-Mrs Stenmo
Awesome first day, Awesome kids! Make sure your kids show you the pictures they took.
Day 2
Today we are going to look at different styles of Minnesota photographers. We will explore the differences in their styles and what we like or do not like about it. We are going to look at different types of cameras and filters and play with them if the weather cooperates outside.
Day 3
We will be learning about ISO, Shutter speed, and Aperture today. Along with that we will be looking at the exposure the kids made over the weekend and having a photo scavenger hunt. I can see an improvement in their photos already.
Day 4
Today we are learning about lighting and different lenses. We will be making out own backdrops with chalk and shooting ourselves in them. The field trip day is coming fast. We will be going to MInnehaha Falls for a photo walk and picnic. Please remember to send the $10.00 bus fee for those who have not already.

Today is all about the elements of a good photo. Leading lines, rule of thirds, background noise and filling the frame. We will be working on our photo art projects for the open house next week.

Our last day together. I have enjoyed working with this group so much. They are fantastic artists with so much creative spirit. Due to popular demand we will keep the photo booth open for classes today to come and enjoy. As well as a dance party (kids request). I can hardly wait until next year so I can do this again. Thank you for a great first year at project seek.- Cheryl Stenmo
