Photography Walk

"Kaleidoscopic Digital Art"
Mary Louise Ravese, Bella Vista Photography

• Friday, January 20, 2023 – 10:00 am–12:00 pm

Winter is a great time to revisit photographs you've already taken and reimagine them in new and artistic ways. This process can kick start your creative juices for the new year.

In this session you'll learn how to create kaleidoscopic digital art from your photographs using a free online photo editor. A variety of photographs can work well for this process, for example flower closeups, small scenes, larger landscape shots, etc. Once you've made a creation you like - with Valentine's Day in mind - we'll explore how you can print your digital art piece on a variety of giftable items using Zazzle.com.

Items to Bring

Please bring a laptop computer and a collection of a few of your digital photograph files (images could have been created with any type of camera). Ideally you should work from images you have already edited/processed for exposure, etc. You will be connecting to the internet to use the necessary photo editor to create this special effect.
