Wonder – Through the Lens of Youth
618 Cypress St
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
USA
The students photographed over 38,000 images in the two year span. 20 images have been chosen by Woodsnap to be featured on large format wood prints at Resin, with the opening event on April 14th, 4-9pm, 618 Cypress Ave.
The Hermosa Beach Artist Collective youth program, entitled “16 Under 16” (named because all 16 of the current members are under the age of 16) – taught students to see the EXTRA in the ORDINARY, and translate the beauty of everyday life through a macro lens. The students captured the images through dSLR cameras on manual focus. The curious and explorative nature of the students evolved the program to include painting, pasting, scribbling, scrubbing, glueing, and burning – and everything in between – to create fantastic imaginationscapes through the eye of their lenses. Their resulting work is refreshing and brilliant, and will printed large format onto wood donated by Woodsnap. Please come join us for the event!
