RASA Photography Club
The Farsworth has continued to partner with RASA (the Rockland After School Alliance) to present a 5-week after school photography program in the Julia’s Gallery digital photography lab. Mentor artist Deanna Witman will lead this program designed for both those students who have little to no experience with digital photography to those with intermediate skills. Beginning with basic technical skills of how to use a (provided) digital camera, the program will cover how to process and print those images. Each class will involve a fun and discreet project that will build on skills acquired in the previous class. The projects will range from cinemagraphs and will include paper & scissors fun along with digital imaging.
