In the beginning of February, Anele Ngoko joined our group. He is the new teacher of Ukonwaba Photo Club.
Anele brought the new idea of methodology, namely, to allow the kids shoot freely without any theory class before. So the discussion will be, firstly, about the motivations made the kids have frozen certain image. Then and together it will be taught the elements of composition.
That methodology has the advantage to discover the own natural talents of the kids, their own interests and photographic eyes. Then the classes will be based on the photos taken by the kids, encouraging them explore their own themes and photographic languages.
It is a new methodology we are going to experience to keep the kids motivate to photo classes and, mainly, to stimulate the kids to believe in their own ability to create, thus building confidence.
