Children’s Programs at Seekonk Library

Posted


Picture This! Spring Photography for Kids
Saturdays, May 12, 19, 26, June 2 from 1 pm – 2: 30 pm
This special program offering will “open up the eyes” of children to see the world around them. Students in ages 8 + will learn camera operation, how to choose a subject, how to edit a photo and more. Simple digital cameras will be lent to each student for the entire four week program and students will be encouraged to take photos at local events such as, but not limited to, the Seekonk Memorial Day Parade and Martin School Spring Fling. Students will prepare on of their photos for exhibiting at a spring art show in Seekonk Meadows. No experience necessary to participate, just a desire to hold a camera in and explore the world through a camera lens. The program will be led by Omar Bradley, a local photojournalist who teaches photography to all 5th grade students in the Pawtucket school system. Mr. Bradley has worked for the Providence Journal, and has had photos in the Pawtucket Times, National Business Review, and the New York Times as well as many others. The class is free to participants and all supplies will be provided. It has been generously funded by a donation to the Friends of Seekonk Library for art education. Registration required.
