Using items around your office as inspiration, create your own personal superhero. We will sketch the superhero, create the origin story and describe its powers (no radioactive spiders or gamma rays allowed!)and in longer session bring it to life through animation! Great for flexing that storytelling muscle, both written and visually.

You have a quality camera at your fingertips and you love making photos, but now what? In this one-hour crash-course photography workshop participants will learn ways to make more considered and complex photographs. By looking at the work of other photographers, a discussion of some technical tips, Q+A, and an in-class exercise, you’ll come out thinking about your photography in a dramatically different way. Specifically, we will discuss how to work with available lighting, thoughts on composition/design in photographs, the use of the zoom function, and other details that will help you feel in control of making great photographs.
