Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Photography is a powerful medium for self-expression and creativity. It allows students to capture their unique perspectives, emotions, and ideas visually, which can be particularly valuable for those who may struggle with traditional forms of expression. In today's digital age, visual literacy is crucial. Learning photography helps students understand how images convey meaning, interpret visual information, and critically analyze the world around them. Photography teaches practical skills such as operating cameras, understanding lighting and composition, editing photos digitally, and using various photographic techniques. These technical skills are not only applicable to photography but also transferable to other fields. Join us in empowering students through the art of photography! Your donation will provide disposable cameras and workshops to aspiring young artists at Fernwood Elementary School. Together, we can spark creativity, build skills, and inspire future photographers. Every dollar counts—help us reach our goal to support students on their artistic journey. Donate today and be part of their story!
