Course Wrap Up

Description

Picture the opportunity of being able to teach children how to take great photographs, and imagine never have to delete another blurred, out of focus photo ever again! Kids are like sponges and love to soak up new knowledge every day, and photography is a lifelong skill that can easily be picked up at a young age, even if it is just for hobby purposes. By signing up to this course, you will give your children the opportunity to gain the skills they need to be able to take great pictures – and you’ll probably pick up some new snap-happy techniques at the same time!

Practical Exercises to Learn by Doing

Kids learn by doing, just like adults do. This is why this course includes weekly projects which require them to take pictures in real life, by following the weekly briefs and heading out to practise their techniques and snap the perfect shots. There are 12 weeks-worth of projects available and each should take between 30 and 60 minutes to complete. If you’re looking for an extracurricular activity that is worth doing, you’ve found it!
