#Creative We all want to be better writers, but sometimes we need inspiration and encouragement. And photography is a fantastic launching point. This class continues Documentary Photography for Young Learners but with a writing component. This 3-week course will add additional elements to your young learner's photography skills—documentary photography and writing work side-by-side. Experience isn't necessary; students will be assigned one short writing prompt with photographs to present during our weekly class. I'm Week 1: We will get to know your photographic interests. Next, we'll discuss composition and necessary documentary skills while enhancing your writing. You will leave thinking about a photography story for day 3. Week 2: We will go over student images in a group critique. During this time, we'll fix any technical issues they may have had and how to improve. We'll end class discussing documentary photographers. Week 3: At the end of the three weeks, I'd like to see ten images with a short-written story. Like my other classes, I will adapt as best as possible to suit the student's needs. A fun learning environment is necessary. I understand students might not get the best experience sitting in front of the computer. Within the three weeks, I rotate verbal lessons with photographic practice to give students a well-rounded experience.
Learning Goals
Students will have experience writing a short story using the images they photographed during the class. The goal is expanding their practice into daily life for preparation for future photography, English, or Journalism classes. The purpose is to develop photography and writing skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from University of Florida
With a strong passion for art education and a decade of experience in teaching and photography, I am excited about working in the creative environment of Art education.
From 2013-2020, I had the privilege of teaching photography at the Palm Beach Photography Centre. This experience not only honed my instructional skills but also deepened my understanding of the value of fostering creativity and artistic expression in children and adults. My tenure there allowed me to witness firsthand the transformative power of art education on young minds.
In addition to my teaching role, I dedicated time to enrich myself in K-13 education further. Working as a substitute teacher, I immersed myself in various classrooms, learning from seasoned educators and adopting diverse teaching strategies. This experience, combined with my background as a practicing photographer, uniquely equips me to bridge the gap between theory and practice, inspiring students to explore their artistic talents and push their creative boundaries.
I am drawn to online education for its reputation as an institution that values innovative teaching methods and encourages students to embrace artistic experimentation. I am excited about the prospect of contributing and helping students develop not only as skilled artists but also as critical thinkers and confident individuals.
I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Journalism and Communications and a focus in the Fine Arts.
