Along the way, we typically synthesize knowledge from different curricula areas - ranging from art and design, to science and mathematics. Many workshops involve partnering with art, language arts, science or social studies teachers. Students learn to analyze and evaluate their actions and creations in planning, editing and critique sessions. I work with all ages of students, from pre-K through adult, tailoring each workshop or residency to each school and its students. In many ways, these are ideal for instruction at all ages.
Students love the gadgets and instant results.
Moreover, there's no cost for film and processing, and no hazardous chemicals. I can work with an existing facility, or for an additional fee, bring my equipment and set up almost anywhere. Film is always processed by a one-hour lab, but we can save printing costs by digitally scanning negatives or slides. If we choose to make prints, per student costs can be high. But some stores will contribute film or processing.
