Since 2000, Wide Angle Youth Media has worked with thousands of youth across Baltimore City. Wide Angle Youth Media’s mission is to collaborate with and amplify the voices of Baltimore youth and engage across social divides. The organization accomplishes this through various media arts classes, including graphic design, digital storytelling, and photography.
“Camera shutter speed, aperture, and ISO can be changed for specific photography goals. Fast shutter speed captures fast motion without blur and small aperture settings create a blurred background,” Wide Angle told us. “By lowering their shutter speed and using colorful lights, students work in teams to draw in space and create an image. This project was inspired by DariusTwin aka Darren Pearson.”
They said the project is intended to teach participants teamwork and communication and encourage playfulness.
