Some Summer Art Camps Offer Professional-Level Photography Training To Young Campers
Artistic talent takes many forms, and the expression of the path an individual may ultimately pursue often begins in childhood. While most of us think of the stereotypical artist with a paintbrush in her hand carefully regarding her brushstrokes on a canvas, not all child (or even older) artist has the ability or desire to express herself that way. If your young artist has great creative ideas as well as an eye for beauty, but is more enthusiastic about snapping pictures on her cell phone rather than picking up a paintbrush, you may have a budding photographer in the family. There are summer art camps that teach camera and lighting skills that may be a fantastic place for your daughter to spend some of her summer so she can explore her skills. Photographers use light, composition, and the world around them to create works of art that can be equally moving and evocative as a great painting or sculpture.
There are quite a few reasons why photography is an especially great way for young artists to express themselves. Everyone observes the world in a different way. Taking photographs presents a great opportunity for youngsters to display their own unique take on the world. Kids already love cameras - most of them walk around with them in the form of mobile phones in any event. At a creative arts camp, however, children get the opportunity to learn the art of photography while using much more high-end equipment, and also to be taught how to work with different types of lighting, movement, and tricks of the trade including time lapse photography--giving them the ability to do much more than take snapshots of friends.
Photography also offers its young aficionados a much more realistic possibility of eventually making a career out of their interest than many other art forms. While competition is still fierce, especially for the best jobs (such as those at magazines or other news outlets), there are many photographers who make great livings recording weddings and other special events. Freelancers often make very respectable livings as well selling individual photos to media stations, magazines, etc. The more training your child has, the greater her chances are of getting into this field as a future career. A number of the best camps even send their participants home with rather impressive portfolios.
These camps often teach video photography too, in addition to staging and the many aspects of video creation, which thanks to the internet and the ever-expanding menu of television channels, is a field which will likely continue to grow for many years to come. YouTube and other video websites are significant, not just for exhibiting funny pet and child videos, but also as a platform for businesses to advertise and promote themselves.
Just like many forms of art, photography is a great strategy to teach kids independence and perseverance as well as creativity, and spending a summer immersed in this endeavor is a wonderful way to learn. Thanks to digital photography, being able to experiment at very minimal expenditure, at least starting out, makes this talent one that can be developed at a very early age.
