My Dog & The Skate Park
- Brandon (6 yrs old) |
| Brandon's house burned down and he lost his dog in the fire shortly after the 'Through The Eyes of a Child' exhibit. His mother called from the motel the same day as the fire to ask if the school could give Brandon a copy of this picture. |

What do children really see? Warrenton Grade School was given a grant
of $750 for a photography project with kindergarten students. Each student
was given a disposable 35mm camera and lessons on photography. Then they
were asked to take pictures of what was important to them in their world. Every effort was made to ensure that the pictures taken would be taken through the children's eyes and perspective. The results are an incredible glimpse of their world in a way adults sometimes are not able to see. The projects culminated in an exhibit of their work with an artist reception. The excitement of the children at the opportunity to explain their work to the over 300 people attending the reception can't be put into words. |
