I've been conducting a series of photography workshops for special education students through a program run by VSA Arts of Grand Rapids. This has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience for me. I've been impressed by the courtesy, creativity, and eagerness of my students.
Yesterday I was working with a class of upper elementary aged kids. I conducted a workshop on "patterns." I encouraged them to explore their surroundings and try to see patterns that they may never have noticed before, to look at their world with new eyes. I told them that our goal was to make people ask "What is that?" when they saw our pictures.
I showed them a couple of samples of my own work that often prompts this question. You can click on these photos to view larger versions and an explanation of their origins.
Here a some samples of their work. I'd be proud to call this my own!
