See the world through a new lens, literally! In this hands-on camp, you’ll explore the intersection of art, technology, and creativity through photography and digital design. Step outside to capture the beauty of nature and the excitement of everyday moments while learning the essentials of photography, including lighting, composition, and perspective. Then, head into the digital studio to enhance and transform your images using tools like Photopea and Figma. Experiment with color, layout, and design as you create your own digital artwork, photo collages, and graphic designs. Along the way, you’ll discover how digital artists and designers use visual storytelling to capture attention and inspire emotion. By the end of the week, you’ll have a portfolio of original creations that showcase your unique artistic vision both through the camera and on the screen.
