Sacramento River
Looking for a creative break from the screen? Join me for a hands-on workshop inspired by artist and educator Corita Kent's teaching practice. This analog experience offers a chance to step outside and explore how slow looking and playful observation can inspire creativity, even in our digital classrooms.
You'll use a paper viewfinder during a walk near the conference site to discover details you might otherwise overlook. Along the way, you'll record observations. Photography is optional (instant cameras recommended). In the spirit of Corita Kent, we'll return to create individual mini-zines that capture your discoveries and reflections. All supplies will be provided.
You'll leave with a handmade zine and a simple analog activity you can adapt for your own teaching. I used this approach in my Digital Photography course and found it to be a rewarding and valuable complement to photography education.
