FotoFest Literacy Through Photography

Literacy Through Photography (LTP) is the in-school and community learning program of FotoFest that encourages student self expression.

WHAT IS FOTOFEST LTP?
We are a learning program by @FotoFest_Intl serving students grades K-12.

We use PHOTOGRAPHY & CREATIVE WRITING to engage self-expression and improve cognitive thinking + social emotional skills.

[FotoFest Literacy Through Photography @FotoFestLTP]

Our curriculum serves as an exploratory playground for students to engage their thoughts, feelings, and expressions through photography and creative writing.

Reminder: our FIRST workshop is scheduled for today on YouTube Live from 5pm- 6:30pm.

This is for parents and educators alike who want to learn more about using the LTP program in the classroom.

We believe all students are artists, writers, and critics whose unique perspectives and worldviews deserve to be heard.

Last night's Virtual Workshop "Me vs. Me" with Teaching Artist Felicia Johnson was a real treat. Her lesson was inspired by FotoFest Biennial 2020 participating artist Hélène Akouavi Amouzou.

Participants were then asked to create 2 images that would convey those qualities, work areas or powers. We received some amazing images! Thank you to all that were able to join.
