Mullingar’s first ever children’s Camera Club is a dynamic course that aims to spark interest in digital photography for children of any age.
This 10-week course is designed to incorporate different aspects of photography, through facilitation and interaction with varied concepts of digital media. It aims to encourage the children to look at things around them in a whole new way with the confidence gained from mastering a new skill and creative expression, the children will develop a wider understanding of the fundamentals of the camera and digital media. Concepts and creative expression through digital photography are greatly encouraged thorughout the 10 week course.
Cameras are available to each child if they don’t have their own.
The uses of digital cameras are endless and this course pushes the various aspects of that to the max. The children will enjoy writing a storyline, making up characters and themes they can easily translate by using the movie setting on the camera, and recording sounds. After all that they will be shown how to upload, edit, and burn their own movie to DVD and watch it on their TV.
Camera Club allows children the freedom to develop their own creative journey through the documentation of everyday surroundings, objects and interests. The camera modes are vital part of this process. Each week the children will engage with new modes of the camera. This is an important factor of the classes as it allows the children to develop their own approach to the new media and is more hands-on.
Each child has a vivid imagination and bursts of creativity, and Camera Club is a great course which enables them to push boundaries through a new and interesting digital media.
Camera Club runs Saturday mornings and afternoons at Olive Whelan Studios, Old Nissan Garage, Dublin Road, Mullingar. For more information call (086 ) 26189 72.
