Bowens Creative Academy in schools
Integrating Visual Arts into School Learning
Bowens Creative Academy school photography and content creation workshops are a creative way to enhance your school’s curriculum. Many children have benefited from Bowens creative Academy teaching methods.
Our photography and content creation workshops for schools are not just about teaching great visual arts skills but also encouraging children to stop and take a look at their surroundings, to plan their shot and be creative. All of which are valuable skills that can be used throughout school and beyond.
Each school photography and content creation workshop is designed individually for your school around a chosen theme. Past themes have been environmental, product, advertising, public announcements, narrative, wildlife, still life, action and portrait workshops, how to photograph and film a theatre production and documentary.
