Big Picture Art House offers photography and film classes for 11-15 year olds in the Boston area over school vacation breaks. We also offer overnight workshops during the summer. Class sizes are kept small and run by founder, photographer Jennifer Connelly. Other experienced photographers and filmmakers run various classes throughout the year. DSLR cameras are provided to students by the program.
Big Picture is great for budding visual artists looking for a "staycation" or for visiting students who get a true "insiders" experience of Boston and it's surrounding neighborhoods. Jenny has 4 teens herself, and since 2011 middle schoolers have raved about the program, having fun being themselves, and really enjoying the organic vibe of Big Picture.
Photo Workshops classes explore local culture by visiting both the popular tourist spots like The North End, Boston Common, Harvard Square. We also share those hidden gems like Bodega shoe store, Eastie Marina, 40 steps Nahant. Part of exploring local culture brings us once or twice a week to local food culture spots such as Roy's Cold Cuts in Eastie (rock n roll sub and classic candy shop), Pizzeria Regina in the North End (the original pizza founded in 1926), Boston Public Market (locally sourced fare) and Sullivan's at Castle Island (lobsta rolls and burgers).
Film Workshops are collaborative efforts. Students write, shoot, act and edit their own short film in iMovie. Lessons and editing are done at Jenny's "home teaching space" in Dorchester near the Zoo. We film on location and create sets at the Teaching Space.
Private Workshops are offered for birthday parties, parent/child week ends, custom after school classes in your neighborhood and more. Looking for something this FALL 2017? Contact Jenny to start the ball rolling on your custom weekend course, or after school program.
Big Picture welcomes all races, classes, genders, religions and political backgrounds. We require participants to enter this program with the same mindset.
2018 Programming comes out in early December, including a full list of Boston photo and film workshops as well as multiple overnight workshops. Join the mailing list now to receive registration notifications.
