Light Graffiti
Tuesday, February 21 | 4-7pm | FREE
Ages 13 - 18
The Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery is inviting local youth (ages 13-18) to participate in a free photography workshop.
Make your mark without leaving a mark! Light graffiti is a photographic technique that uses your camera to capture temporary images created by lights moving through the dark. During this workshop, we'll learn how to make light paintings, portraits and stencils using a point-and-shoot digital camera with flashlights, glow sticks, hula hoops, cardboard boxes and other household materials.
Space is limited--to register, e-mail Emily or call 519-579-5860 x227.
