What’s a zine? It’s more than just a mini magazine… it’s an amazing tool for self-expression, storytelling, and connection. In this class, we’ll explore the radical history of zines, study all the different forms they can take, and, best of all, create our own zines every week. Our focus is on creativity, activism, and collaboration. At the end of the course, we’ll celebrate with our own little zine fest! Whether you’re into art, poetry, politics, comics, or just want to tell your own story, this is your space.

In this class, we’ll explore the many genres of photography, from street and portrait to landscape, documentary, and more, while discovering the iconic photographers who helped shape each style. Along the way, we’ll break down the basics of photography by studying the techniques these artists used to capture their most unforgettable images, and we’ll ask the question, “What exactly is a ‘great’ photograph?” But we won’t just study photography; we will also create! Through hands-on projects, we’ll experiment with camera obscuras and cyanotypes, make our own photo zines, and practice techniques in class.

Students are entering this class mid-year. An assessment test may be required.

We will follow the Math-U-See curriculum that focuses heavily on the visual component of learning and understanding the why behind what we do. It is designed to encourage a deeper understanding of the principles we learn, not just straight memorization.
