Art into photography - Kay Paget
Tuesday, 8 July, The Arts Centre, 61-69 Abel Smith Street, 7.30pm
Kay has enjoyed artistic pursuits since childhood, including cartooning and calligraphy and creative writing. In the early '90s she began studying traditional European art styles and techniques. Come along to find out more about Kay’s fascinating project with her camera.
In addition to Kay's talk, we will have the selection of the WPS entries for the Wellington Interclub print battle (for subjects 1-6).
Opening a creative eye – Jordyn O’Keefe
Monday, 28 July, The Arts Centre, 61-69 Abel Smith Street, 7.30pm
Jordyn O'Keeffe teaches a range of photography courses, including Creative Eye, at Wellington High in the adult education programme.
Jordyn will take us through the key elements of visual design in photography, including line, shape, lighting, and perspective from both a technical point of view and in terms of conveying emotional impact.
In addition, we will have the selection of the WPS entries for the Wellington Interclub print battle (for subjects 7-12).
Interclub Print Battle
Tuesday 12 August, Kapiti Coast Photographic Society
The Kapiti Coast Photographic Society (previously the Waikanae Camera Club) has set the 12 subjects for the 2008 Interclub Print Battle. These will be:
- Plumbing
- Rocks
- Clouds
- One Tree
- Night
- Glint in the Eye
- Abandoned
- Wide
- Liquid
- Interior (architecture)
- Glass (not reflective)
- Orange
This gives us plenty of time to take some quality images in each of these subjects so that WPS will have a high standard of print for all subjects.
