About the Project

This grant proposal supports the creation of an after-school photography club for eight 4th and 5th grade classes, with a focus on photojournalism and fine art photography. The club, called In Sight, will integrate visual arts and literacy, encouraging students to tell meaningful stories through both images and words. Participants will explore the people, places, and communities around them while studying the work of fine art and documentary photographers to understand how photography and writing can be powerful tools for self-expression. As students develop their skills, they will uncover their own unique perspectives and learn to tell the stories of others with empathy and creativity. In Sight will help students build confidence as both visual artists and storytellers, deepening their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
