Discover the joy of gratitude and creativity through photography! In this 30-day project, learners will explore two gratitude themes each week, capturing one photo daily that celebrates something they’re thankful for. From people and hobbies to nature and everyday moments, learners will dive into new topics every few days, finding fresh ways to express appreciation through the lens. Each theme features a unique photography tip or idea to inspire creativity and improve skills. By the end of the course, learners will have a meaningful collection of gratitude-themed images, reflecting the beauty of their lives. Perfect for photographers of all skill levels! In this course learners can expect: - Hands-On Learning: Students are encouraged to share their photographs in the Outschool classroom. They can submit their images for personalized feedback from Erika Hatfield, fostering a supportive learning environment. - Interactive Format: While there are no live Zoom sessions, students can engage with pre-recorded demonstrations that illustrate key concepts, alongside visual presentations that enhance understanding. Led by Erika Hatfield, an experienced photographer with a passion for teaching, this class emphasizes a nurturing atmosphere. Learners will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance tailored to their individual progress. This self-paced format caters to diverse schedules and allows students to learn at their own speed while still benefiting from dedicated teacher interaction.
Learning Goals
