Summer Session - Week 2 Phototastic!

This is the week most of our PNG students have been looking forward to.  UNLEASH THE CAMERAS!!

Students became veritable paparazzo this week, snapping away with their digital cameras and learning the basics of how to take good photos.

We attempted to focus most of the picture-taking on items the students (and our mentors) brought in to the classroom.

We got some seriously artistic shots!  The PNG students are becoming skilled shutterbugs.


On Wednesday it was time to move on to post production.  We showed the kids how to use Photoshop and the totally free Pixlr.com to manipulate their photos and then put together a nice presentation of their work in PowerPoint.

Today we went on pixlr.com and we took the pictures we did on Monday and made them look funky. Brian said as a joke that if you don't put a picture of this toy he likes named Carnage you get kicked out of the class.
