West Boylston Bicentennial Photo Galleries
Visual Communications


The Visual Communications class took photographs to document our town and school for the West Boylston Bicentennial Celebration in 2008.
The Visual Communications class also provided photographs that the elementary school students  used as a reference for a mosaic mural project, located in the lobby of Major Edwards Elementary School.
Photographs are from Fall 2007 through Winter 2008.

Here were the guidelines for the project:

  • Think about historical places in West Boylston.

  • Think about which images best represent life in West Boylston.

  • Think about what people who live here see and do.

  • Think about what visitors to West Boylston see and do.

  • Think about the most scenic places in West Boylston.

  •  Photographs can be of people doing activities or of physical spaces in and around the town.

  • Try to capture the seasons in WB.

  • Try to capture morning or evening lighting for unique photographs.

  • Try to capture different weather conditions for unique photographs

  • Photographs should not be limited to high school activities. We want all age groups represented.

  • Capture activities to celebrate the Bicentennial throughout the year.

  • Capture the activities during Bicentennial weekend September 20-21.

Photographs were chosen by quality of focus, lighting, color, subject matter, composition, creativity and aesthetics.
