Big Picture Art House offers photo and film classes for 11-15 year olds (unless otherwise noted) in Boston over school vacations. Class sizes are kept small at about 7, and run by founder, photographer Jennifer Connelly. DSLR cameras are provided to students by the program. The city is our playground. We travel freely around in the Big Picture Van to all our field trips. Students get 1-on-1 attention from 20 year photo veteran, and working photographer, Jennifer Connelly. We are offering one photo class for 14-16 year olds this summer.
Big Picture is great for budding visual artists looking for a "staycation" or for students visiting Boston for the summer to have a true "insiders" experience of Boston. Jenny has raised 4 kids in the city herself. 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). There is no other class like this offered in Massachusetts where students get:
• to use DSLR cameras supplied by the program
• tour the city and surrounding gems in Nahant, Concord, Nantasket and
• work with a local, professional photographer who knows both the touristy and hidden hot spots to visit.
Overnight Photo Retreats: Small groups of 7 girls visit a destination location each summer in the woods or by the sea. Students learn documentary photo while strengthening their inner voice. We have field trips and lessons daily, meet locals, and complete a printed photo book.
Film Workshops: 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.
Summer 2018 was a huge success! We had more guest photographers than ever, trained a new teacher and had an amazing RA for overnight class. 2019 programming will open in December. Check out the movie we made "Boondoggled" on Youtube. Like and subscribe! Like us on FB and follow us on Instagram.
