Express Yourself Without Any Words

New in 2017, our photography program merges the best of our film and art attack programs. The year begins by looking at the different styles and types of photography and quickly moves “out into the field” where different genres of photography are explored.

Like all of our programs the practical skills embedded in photography are matched with the individual interests and passions of the students to create an end of year exhibition.
