First Event!

28 04 2009

Yep! and it was super Fab!  I’m not sure who was more proud… the kids or the adults!  Alexis and DeQuan were definitely excited to see their masterpieces on display at Barnes and Noble, and their writings and images brought tears to their staff!  -well, almost ;)   A big thank you to Teach My People for letting Star Shooter have the opportunity to allow kids to discover the “star” within themselves!

Great Job, Alexis!

Workshop Update

12 04 2009

Two students from Teach My People (Pawley’s Island, South Carolina), DeQuan and Alexis, have started the Star Shooter workshop with great enthusiasm this past week! Their eagerness to learn and creativity has made Star Shooter’s first workshop super fun and successful! Our focus has been to document their lives at Teach My People and how it’s influenced their life today and how it will make a difference in their futures. They carefully selected images to be printed in a book and will also write for text to be included about the images. Enjoy a few shots of DeQuan and Alexis in action, as well as a few of their incredible shots!

It’s Beginning…

7 04 2009

Yes indeed, Star Shooter’s first workshop is in action.  I will meet two precious kiddos at Teach My People in Pawley’s Island beginning this week.  We will conduct a mini-workshop to generate a ‘book project’ to be on display for the Barnes and Nobles Cafe Mingle in Myrtle Beach, SC.  The children will photograph their life at TMP and how it’s helped them for their future, and have the images printed in a book.  TMP is conducting a “book drive” April 23-26 at the Barnes and Noble in Market Commons, Myrtle Beach (a percentage of all items purchased in the store on those days will benefit TMP).  So Star Shooter’s project will be one of the art pieces on display to help bring awareness to the community about TMP and it’s children in need.    

All are invited to join us at the kids’ showing: Friday April 24th, 6-8pm at Barnes and Noble in Market Commons, Myrtle Beach.
