HISTORY THROUGH THE LENS: Playing with Nature, Digital Art from Found Objects

Description

Love beachcombing? Come explore the shore below the Historical Society and learn about the intertidal zone while making artwork using the shells, driftwood, sea glass, and beachstones you find. Whether you prefer elegant or whimsical designs, you can make images using only your camera phone. Jenn will answer your questions about the animals, plants, and history of the Bar Harbor waterfront, demonstrate simple photo-editing apps to use on your phone, help you share your work on social media, and print out one of your photos to take home. This is a low-tech class that anyone can enjoy. The class is best suited for people 14 and older, and able to climb down a small hill to the beach. Be prepared to walk at the edge of the surf in the low tide.
