Students will spend the morning investigating landscape photography with photographer Sofia DeWolfe. They will begin by exploring a brief history of photography, developing an understanding of what a landscape photograph encompasses and the different ways to look at and to approach the landscape. Students will then be given time to venture out into the neighborhood and shoot various landscapes using a smart phone. Students will work with the artist to edit their photographs and will leave the workshop with 1-3 prints suitable for framing.
About The instructor:
Sofia epitomizes the spirit of Ketchum, ID, her hometown at the confluence of several of Idaho’s most impressive mountain ranges. The combination of experiences in these mountains, along with several years on the Southern California shoreline while earning a BA in photography from UC San Diego, have given her the unique talent of being able to capture others during their epic interactions with the physical environment, no matter the topography. Pushing her own physical limits has undoubtedly spilled over into her passion to tell others’ stories, whatever the medium may be.
This workshop takes place Sat, Jan 25, from 9am-12pm at The Center, Hailey.
Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project The Bottomlessness of a Pond: Transcendentalism, Nature and Spirit.
Teen workshops are generously sponsored by Joyce B. Friedman and scholarships are available through the support of The Crisis Hotline.
“My Life Matters” Teen Workshop Scholarships in memory of the work of Sher Foster
The Crisis Hotline is proud to offer $250.00 in scholarship funds to Blaine County teens hoping to attend art workshops hosted by the Sun Valley Center of the Arts. These scholarships are to commemorate Sher Foster’s 12-year commitment to be a part of the solution helping those in crisis. It was Sher’s intention to pursue her lifelong love of painting and the arts upon her retirement. She was unable to achieve that. The Crisis Hotline hopes that the creation of this scholarship will enable Sher’s love of life and the arts to be lived vicariously through the enjoyment of these teens who will participate in the workshops.
