The Description

Through the Lens is a photography and literary arts program with the purpose of displaying the similarities of the camera and the pen/pencil and how both can capture a story or adventure. Through the hands-on use of digital cameras (Sony Cyber Shot RX100), iPads (for editing) and lighting equipment, students will learn the basics of photography while applying the use of literary elements to create narratives based on their photos all while working towards presenting their creative work in a photo gallery. Students will develop skills within the following areas: photography, literary arts, organization, planning and goal implementation strategies. Each student will receive a book displaying the collective work from the program or display their selected work in a gallery showcase.

Get Fokus’d Productions looks to instruct 8-12 students per workshop (6, 8, or 10 day workshops). Participants families, friends, peers, and the community at large, will be influenced as their work is displayed in a collective book or gallery showcase.

This past summer, Get Fokus'd Productions (GFP) provided the Young Audiences’ ArtWorks Apprentices with "Through the Lens" photography programming that utilized the camera as a tool to not only teach photography skills but also assist them in developing the knowledge, skills, work habits, and character traits that are critically important to success in collegiate programs, contemporary careers and workplaces in this 21st century and beyond.

Through GFP, Apprentices developed an understanding of how critical photography is to the growth of business/companies, organizations, artists, and more.
