CAMERAreach 2008/09


Photo collage created in PERSON/PERSONA CAMERAreach workshop, 2007


Workshops for 2008/09 are now BOOKED.

CAMERAreach workshops are an exciting hands-on experience in photography for youth in the Toronto District School Board. Our instructors are professional photographic artists with extensive experience teaching elementary and secondary students including those with special needs. The workshops emphasize self-expression through the development of creativity and technical skills. Our instructors come to your school and work onsite with your class. Workshops require a full day (one exception is noted below) and may be customized to complement your curriculum. Instruction in French is available for some workshops. Because CAMERAreach workshops are subsidized by Gallery 44, public schools pay only $75.00 plus GST and materials costs. Please see workshop descriptions for materials' fees, which are based on a 20 participant minimum. During these workshops, Gallery 44 requires that teacher supervision is provided by the school for the duration of the course.
