Looking
Through Our Lens
A Digital Photography Project.
The project goal is for students to display
digital photographs and images to give the viewer a look into their
lives, their school, and their community. There are two parts to the
project.
Virtual School and Community gives the viewer at the West Boylston
community and nearby resources.
Kids Cope by Sharing Hope showcases the positive things teens do in
the community.
The Bicentennial Project
There is a West Boylston Bicentennial
(200 years) celebration in 2008.
The Visual Communications class has built galeries of student photographs
for display for that celebration.
The Visual Communications class has also provided photographs that
the elementary school students used as a reference for the mosaic mural
project on display at the elementary school.
