Free Arts classes in the Bronx

Digital Photography (Adults)
Instructor(s): Marisol Diaz
Time: Saturday, 11am - 1pm
Location: BRAC Headquarters
Ages: 19 and up
Fee: $100

As photography has gone digital, editing your photographs has become an essential component of taking photos. It’s not just capturing the moment, but enhancing it. This class explores in-depth the functions of digital cameras, but students will also develop an eye for composing photographs of the natural and built environments and gain digital-editing skills using Photoshop or in BRAC’s state-of-the-art Media Lab. Students generally work with their own digital camera, however BRAC has a number of cameras for students' use (during class time only) if they do not have their own.

Using a variety of materials such as pencils, acrylic paint, ink, watercolor, and pastels students will learn basic painting and drawing techniques to create vivid still lives, portraits and landscapes of our Bronx River environment.
