Our program provides young folks with an outlet and the tools to express the emotions and concepts that come with simply existing.
An arts education affords students the opportunity to translate a creative thought into a finished product. Photo in Schools includes language arts related prompts and activities to expand the relationship between the visual and the written. Students consider image-based narratives – and learn how to communicate their perspectives and emotions into both the written and visual form.
TILT’s instructors lead students through in-class discussions about their work. Through this process, students learn the basics of how to give constructive feedback to their peers — and how to receive and use constructive feedback given to them. As a side effect, students articulate their opinions creatively through their work and thoughtfully through their discussions. End result? More confident youth.
