My Project

My students are incredibly talented and dedicated artists. In today's digital world, they are required to create digital portfolios to showcase their outstanding artwork. However, with schools banning cell phone usage, students lack access to cameras and are unable to photograph their creations.

Having a camera and proper lighting will empower my students to meet these requirements by capturing images that display their artwork professionally.

They will learn how to frame and expose their pictures effectively and upload them to an online portfolio. This will be an ongoing process, allowing them to document their artistic journey.

This camera and lighting will provide the essential tools to support their creative expression and growth .
