Programme Synopsis In this experimental alternative photography workshop, students will build their own cameras with everyday objects like food containers, boxes or even an entire room. Through understanding the basic principles such as the anatomy of a camera, students will find that the possibilities offered from a DIY camera are limitless; even different surfaces can be used for the record of light. This workshop is an intersection of art and science where students will learn the principles of light and how it can be applied to image making. Teachers will have the option of choosing from a photograph or drawing as an outcome. For the digital/blended version of this workshop, students will be using the camera built as a camera obscura to create a fantasy drawing, starting with shapes and forms that they observe from their camera’s viewfinder. The workshop will also be cultivating a sense of resourcefulness in students and their ability to look at objects in a different light.
