The Youth Programs team invites teens to join museum educators on the third Friday of every month to be inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and screenings, explore the museum, hang out, and get creative.
Inspired by the photographic work of director Agnès Varda, we will be learning how to take portraits and focusing on the three essential elements of portrait photography: lighting, composition, and direction. The workshop will be led by Las Fotos Project Social Enterprise Assistant/Educator Fabiola Lopez.
Varda’s work is featured in our Director’s Inspiration gallery on Level 2 inside our Stories of Cinema exhibition. The gallery exhibits many photographs by the director, including portraits of actors on her film sets. Her photographic style informed the distinct look of her films.
Varda’s career spanned over six decades and drew inspiration from her life and the world around her. She considered her life in three parts: as a photographer, a filmmaker, and a visual artist.
