Artist in Residence

Somersworth Middle School 2016Learning to See

Theme: Farm to Fork 

 

Somersworth Residency started off with a teachers workshop; student participants learned more about their cameras made books out of their photographs, learned a bit about the history of photograph and made cloth cyanotpyes that they then transformed into a quilt and pillows.

This project was over the course of several weeks and the whole school was involved.

 "I feel the students comments say it all"
-Bonnie DuBois the school art teacher

·         I liked the fact that you could choose the way you wanted your picture to come out
·         You could take as many pictures as you liked
·         You could choose your theme, story line for your pictures
·         We learned about the different settings of the camera
·         We were able to be as creative as we wanted with our photos
·         I liked watching the cyanotypes develop into a picture
·         I loved learning how to sew the cyanotypes into a pillow
·         I loved learning about and taking pictures. I am still doing it at home
