Literacy Through Photography

Teaching Artist Residencies

OVERVIEW

Teaching Artist Residencies consist of weekly sessions (minimum of 10) led by Literacy Through Photography Teaching Artists.

Each classroom residency is an opportunity for Teaching Artists to bring knowledge, practical experience, and artistic skills to students by guiding them through the Literacy Through Photography curriculum. Residencies are offered in the following forms:

  • In-School
  • After School
  • Online Learning

Currently, we serve Houston area schools for in-person residencies. Free curricular resources can be found online.

And then the topic for the first conversation will be found by itself - the trip and the impressions received. Important If there are no obvious travel photos, do not despair. Take a closer look. Perhaps in one PrivateDelights Orange Count of the photos you will see your favorite cat or dog. Or maybe the girl uploads images of her culinary masterpieces or photos from the gym? This will also provide a topic for conversation. The main thing to remember is that any person loves when people talk about him.
