Thoughtfully Creative Curriculum

Funded Jun 4, 2024

Thank you so much for your generous support! As we embark on this new school year, I am excited to share that I have collaborated with students to curate a photography curriculum tailored to their learning needs. This class emphasizes exploring self-identity through the lens of a camera.

With the curriculum materials you helped provide, I have been able to create engaging and effective lessons that adapt to the students' progress and interests. One of the highlights of our experience has been the accessible breakdowns of the equipment we use in the darkroom. We have created premade posters with simple instructions that guide the students through essential tasks on the machinery. This has made it much easier for them to grasp the intricacies of the process.

All of the students in this class have prior experience in art, having taken drawing classes for 3 to 4 years. It has been incredibly rewarding to witness their growth as they expand their artistic abilities and develop an appreciation for photography—an art form that challenges them to step outside of their comfort zones.

Once again, thank you for your invaluable support. Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in our students' learning experiences!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Escalera
