Teen Art Class: Photography—Look Again (Ages 13–17)

Photographers shape their lives and their days around looking closely at the world around them. Reimagine your days with photography and at-home strategies all photographers use to stay attuned to their world. Each day of the week, this online class will experiment with new ways of looking and making photos in your home. We will also be learning from the work of incredible artists found in LACMA’s collection such as Sally Mann, Edward Weston, Laura Aguilar, and Barbara Kasten. Downloading the Snapseed app and access to a digital camera (or camera phone), Google Drive, and Zoom is required for this class. With artist Amara Higuera Hopping.

Join on your computer or tablet wherever you have internet. A Zoom link and materials list will be sent to you prior to class. Students are responsible for providing their own digital camera and materials based on recommendations provided by the teaching artist.

Monday–Friday: July 19–23
