Photography by 10-year-olds

Last school year I organized a project with an elementary teacher in Orem to teach his kids photography. He had some money to buy his kids point-and-shoot cameras and they spent several months photographing their recess time in the playground. Some kids even took their cameras home. It was an absolute blast. I showed up every other week and talked photography to 10-year-olds. They were really into the whole project and were learning artistic and storytelling principles and applying it in their photos and in other areas of their learning. We also set up a show at the Orem Library and displayed their work for a month. I got 2 other Orem schools on board and funded for the 2009-2010 school year. If anyone is interested in being a guest lecturer please contact me at mario@marioruiz.com. Check out the link below:
