Art Chicas Unidas Recap

Well the reception for Art Chicas Unidas was last Saturday. What a great program. I get very excited whenever I get the chance to share what I do with others. I also am a huge fan of collaboration. All in all two massive thumbs up to La Reunion! I posted an additional blog about the project from start to finish here. There is also a short video that the amazing Cindy Chaffin did for Art+Seek here.
Here is one of the images from the series produced from this program.

Art Chicas 2008

I spent the day teaching a group of 10 amazing young women. Please go here to see the end results and snaps I took of each of them.
The assignment was:
To shoot with DSLR cameras in fully manual modes, abstract or indirect portraits of a stranger. (The girls were paired with another girl in the class. It had to be someone they did not know.) Then they had to reflect and write about the image they chose. At the end of the day was a reception with there work and stories were on the wall. I was very proud of the gals for taking the assignment seriously and diving right in.

This was part of Art Chicas with La Reunion. There were 4 artists involved and forty young women this year. What a wonderful day.
