Class introduction

Education through photography,

Education not for photography

A photography class for children to learn while playing and experiencing!!

The Canon Photo & Kids Program is a children's photography education program that has been working with children for 15 years since 2007 at Canon Academy. It is a program that develops culture, art, creativity, and sensibility through photography rather than simply teaching them how to take pictures. It is an image literacy class that fosters children's understanding, creativity, and sensitivity with a focus on visual activities through photography.

[Photography+Art] is an integrated art education program created by fusing photography and art. It is a class where you can understand photography as a tool of expression and express your thoughts with photos in a fun way. [Let's play with pictures!] is a class where you can understand the functions of a professional camera and the basic principles of photography, and learn how to express a creative perspective through photography through play. “Let's talk with pictures.” is a class where you can rediscover everyday objects and experience natural writing through storytelling through photography. In chapter 1, you'll get interested in the medium of photography through photography and art activities, and in chapter 2, you'll learn cool photographic expressions with more specialized camera features, and in chapter 3, you'll learn how to express your inner story with photos. This is a series of courses where both adults and children grow as they learn photography.

What makes this class special

A photograph is a window that looks into the world through a window called a camera, and a mirror that looks into oneself.

I can have a new experience of taking time to look at the world from my own perspective and listen to my inner story through a camera with my children's friends.
