Spring 2024 is just around the corner

The RenSoc Program Committee is gearing up for next semester! Whoa. Take a breath. We just started... 

Questions for Studio participants:

  • Could RenSoc expand the iPad and iPhone seminar offerings? 
  • Would you work with others to facilitate new activities? 
  • More offerings with iPhone photography or artistic apps like Procreate, even music … let your creative inner child go free … 
  • Do you want iPhone Studio to continue? On Zoom or face-to-face? Maybe both. 
  • If you want to continue, is there a way to bring new participants on board? Would you mentor a newbie? 
  • What is your heart telling you? 
Suggestions: 
  • Artificial Intelligence for image creation and editing (Photomator, ... )
  • Print and exhibit our creations  
  • iPhone models - compare camera capabilities - photo walks (downtown murals, birding, ...)   
  • Fish hatchery, ladder, bike trail, river (free parking)   
  • Intentional Camera Movement, ICM, with different camera apps 
  • Select subject in a photo remove from background - photo editing & multi-finder gestures
  • Studio folks demonstrate possibilities for photo taking or image editing - 1 hour on Zoom - Shared album with public access (posting only for presenters), sharing strategies   
  •   

Classes offered over Zoom might need:

  • topic coordinator (works w presenters and gets email out to enrollees) 
  • moderator (introductions and ground rules, announces questions from enrollees) 
  • 2-4 presenters/meeting - demonstrating camera and photo editing techniques 
  • tech host (mutes audio/video; watches for reactions - slow down; records if ok)
  • 2-4 people to answer questions in chat 

The deadline for Spring 2024 proposals is coming up soon.
