After successfully transitioning
the remainder of their spring
programming to virtual delivery, First
Exposures revamped their Summer
Intensive Residency program to be
delivered virtually over six weeks in
response to the COVID 19 pandemic.
During these six weeks, mentees
worked closely with mentors to take
their photography and editing skills
to a new level.
Through 90 minute long virtual
sessions, mentors used a project-
based curriculum to teach new skills
that allowed the mentees to work
confidently towards a tangible project
goal to produce media pieces. These
sessions included activities that
required students to get up and do a
lesson exercise, and breakout rooms
were utilized for peer-feedback. The
content and delivery structure style of
these sessions was evaluated weekly
and revamped accordingly to the
needs and the learning styles of the
young artists.
