4-H Photography Project

Abstract

Photography provides people with an opportunity to explore, experiment, express, and communicate in seemingly endless ways . Participation in this project goes far beyond building the technical skills needed to operate a camera and other photographic equipment. 

In this project, members will learn

• how to take engaging photos • the history, science, and artistic elements found in photography • how to view the world through a different lens

This sheet outlines activity ideas at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of skill; also gives suggestions on how to tie the activity to STEM, healthy living, civic engagement, leadership and college and career readiness goals.
