meet the instructor
It's nice to meet you! First & foremost, thank you for reading and looking over the information. I'm very excited for this summer camp and have put in so much thought on how to have the most success during this experience. I have three boys ages 7, 4 & 2 so I totally understand chaos and life with kids. :) I wanted to offer something completely different this summer, espeically for kids. This past year they have been robbed from several experiences and so I thought having a creative outlet is exactly what they would need. I've been teaching professionals for six years and this is the first time offering a summer camp for kids. In fact, Oklahoma doesn't really have anything like this and I'm ecstatic to offer something new & exciting for the kids. From start to finish we'll be learning, creating and displaying art all while maintaining proper etiquette and formalities during the summer camp. It means a lot to get the chance to teach young artists and I'm so pumped for what they're about to learn & create. I'm teaming up with some local professionals and some volunteers to offer the best experience possible & I hope to see your kiddo in class! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Description:
Brandon's photography summer camp is an opportunity for young artists to create and develop skills that will allow for them to continue to grow in the arts. Each day we learn composition elements with an assignment and at the end of the week each artist will have prints displayed during a formal art gallery that family can come to. Overall students will learn skill, techniques, creative freedom and etiquette of the art.
The projects that we'll be working on will parallel to learning a component with art composition. Each project has an objective to learn a specific part of the photography world. The artwork will be printed and displayed at the Formal Art Gallery the last evening of the summer camp.
THESE WERE PROJECTS WE DID LAST YEAR BUT THEY WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR FOR ANY PARENTS FROM LAST YEAR WONDERING.
Abstract
Creating a color wheel with colored pencils taped to a circle rod we’re going to learn elements of abstract photography.
Illusion
This photo project will demonstrate a three dimensional perspective with a model coming through a hole in a wall. Using construction paper, a corner of a cabinet & the right angle this project will give a natural take on how to achieve an illusion.
Lines
Learning the composition of lines and how it influences the composition of an image. Using lines and the sun we’re going to put together a really awesome effect and lay it over a photo of a portrait or object.
Movement
Using a set of chains and water splashes we’ll capture a super intense action portrait. Learning to capture motion without blur and topping it off with how to edit the image with a dramatic flair.
Action
This demonstration will show how to capture action with basic tools and a very safe approach this photograph will prove to the students a difference kind of magic behind the camera.
Perspective
Each student will bring something "small" from home and we'll learn the power of perspective by making that item appear to be real life. Depending on the group we may even add an element of surprise by photoshopping the student into the photo to really give a different perspective on things.
Color
Each student will choose items to display a vibrant and colorful photo. Using the rules of the color wheel students will see how different colors compliment each other.
Black & White
The student will have a few options to choose from during this project. The objective is learning shadows and how to implement black & white into their imagery.
Macro
This element of photography allows for all those close up shots displaying the details. Each student will have a few items to choose from and will get to explore the fine details of macro photography.
Polaroid Fun!
Who doesn't love a good polaroid project!? The students will have an opportunity to enjoy some polaroid fun by putting together a collage of images connected to emotions. This will be awesome!
Silhouette
Learning how to create a silhouette using natural light and manual mode metering. This will teach the students how to navigate lighting and shadows.
Portrait
We will have a few people come in for students to practice taking portraits. These images will be more artistic than commercial. Learning how to capture the better angles all while learning how to place parts of the body for a more of an appealing look.
Overlays
Learning a few techniques in photoshop we'll learn overlays. This is a great element in photoshop that will allow for students to place things like bubbles, dandelions and sun flares in their images.
Graphic Design Basics
Students will learn some basic graphic design in photoshop. Learning how to navigate things like texts, shapes, layers and putting items together to create a printable document.
Enjoy a formal art gallery the Saturday evening displaying your student’s art.

during this experience.
