Darkroom Photography Needs Your Help

Help me give my students the film and supplies they need to continue their growth in photography.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McIntosh's classroom raised $2,804

This project is fully funded

My Project

The photography supplies, including many rolls of film, darkroom materials, and photographic paper, will provide students with a hands-on, immersive supplies for the art of photography. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the creative process, from capturing images to developing them. This will enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they experiment with composition, lighting, and the darkroom process. Additionally, these materials will allow students to express themselves artistically, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their work.

My primary goals for this project are to cultivate artistic expression, enhance technical skills in photography, and promote collaboration among students.

I aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable experimenting with their creativity and learning from their successes and challenges. Ultimately, I hope to inspire a passion for photography that encourages them to explore storytelling through visual media.
