Jackson Pollock and Photography Goodness

24 Jun

Day 2 of Jobal Camp was full of goodness.

Jackson Pollock and his abstract painting style were a big part of our day.  Slinging paint around in just the right places is hard work (and a ton of fun).  We made small versions inside and then used paint shooters to make big versions outside.

Photographer Kelly Moore also hung out with us, helping turn us into budding photographers.  Kelly shared lots of photography goodness, like the difference between wideangle and telephoto lenses, how to use leading lines, capturing motion, and telling a story with your photo. She sent us on a photography scavenger hunt around downtown Monroe, challenging us to practice the techniques we learned.

Thanks to Adorama and Kelly Moore, every participant today was given a new Fuji Instax 210 camera of their very own!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

In our spare time, we made these 4×4 inch squares expressing art, joy, hope, and creating.
