Workshop Sessions
Online Writing Photography Workshops will commence March 2010.The sessions will be conducted fortnightly over 16 weeks, with a 9 day break over Easter (2-11th April), and finish on July 3rd, 2010. The workshops are structured so that students will have sufficient time to read the workshop material, complete the excercises (make their photographs & write about them)and obtain the support they need (email &/or phone), so they are ready to submit their completed work for comment each fortnight. The goal of the workshops, is for students to develop their ability to express themselves (visual, verbal and written) while developing a photo essay. Along the way, students will also learn some additional skills in photography, colour, photoshop, and printing.

Students will develop conceptual skills (photography and writing)to enhance the photographs they make, and make their photo essays.
` THE PORTRAIT `
Students will learn how to take portraits and write about them(self and other). Students will be given specific excercises (writing & photography) from which to approach their portraiture. Students will create a (with an emphasis on feelings and emotions) portrait shot list, which incorporates their public and private selves.
` THE FAMILY `
Students will learn about the family portrait, ways to photograph it and ways to write about it (using specific writing excercises) and talk about it. They will learn how to interview a family and construct a character sketch of the family. They will learn how to investigate the family tree and create a photo essay of the family.
` THE COMMUNITY `
Students will learn how to photograph their community and create a photo essay of their community. They will learn how to ask questions about their community. They will also learn how to capture a shot list of their community, edit it and sequence it, ready to present it as a photo essay. Using specific writing techniques, students will write about their community, discuss their writings, and incorporate them into a photo essay. They may then prepare this for printing.
` DREAMS `
Students will learn how to photograph their dreams. They will learn how to create a dream shot list, write about their dreams, and discuss them. They will create a collage about their dreams.

` THE PHOTO ESSAY `
Throughout the workshop sessions, students will be introduced to the photo essay. They will learn how to make photographs and write about them using 'writing photography' skills. They learn will develop an 'eye', so they may best edit and sequence their photographs and text into a photo essay.
~ GOAL FOR PARTICIPATION~
The goal for students participation in the workshops, is that they are able to make photographs, write about them, discuss them, and learn how to structure them into a photo essay. They will be given specific exercises (writing and photography) so they may increase their ability to express themselves, verbally, visually, and emotionally, while increasing their writing and editing skills as they construct their photographs and photo essays.
Writing photography is used extensively in the USA and abroad to increase a person's sense of self, their socio-cultural identity and their ability to express themselves. Using photo based imagery and writing techniques encourages the emergence of a self reflexive artistic who has an increased awareness and visual knowledge of their world (relationships, family, friends, community & dreams).
