The photography class continues to take memorable photographs in Spoleto, despite the sadness of the upcoming departure. There is a bitter sweetness to capturing the last moments. All of the students have enjoyed building relationships with the local community and creating a visual tapestry of their memories.
Students were introduced to the local Red Cross of Spoleto. Under Serafino's guidance, they continued to learn about portraiture and capturing the moment. In addition to increasing the students' technical abilities, the students also got the wonderful opportunity to interact with the community.
On Monday, the creative writing and photography students went out on the much anticipated sunflower field trip.
Serafino has been working on teaching the photography class about traditional photography. He showed them how to take polaroids, and is taking a polaroid of every student to showcase their personality. Each student will have an incredible piece of memorabilia to take home and keep for the rest of their lives.
Each student’s ability to take portraits that are well lit and compositionally balanced has grown tremendously.
Though the sunflowers weren't as lively as they had hoped, the students enjoyed posing in them and create lasting memories. They found that in a way, the sunflowers symbolized the end of our journey in Spoleto.
The students' final gallery exhibition will take place on Saturday. They look forward to sharing their work with their friends and family upon their return.
