The Art School – Saturday 2/4/2012

Saturday 4th February 2012
12-2pm

Teacher: Ryan Leitner
Class: Photography Class –Adults

These sessions are for the more open group of people to come together and release their inhibitions and actions. It’s for people to try and discover what their body wants them to do, outside of what their mind is telling saying. The class starts off with practices that get each other accustomed and more comfortable to one another, and then moves on to different games and actions that express themselves at that given moment. This class is designed to give people the opportunity to open up in front of peers and to maybe help understand oneself and others a little more.
*Each participant understands that they will be photographed during the course of each session.

His work concentrates on the actions people take, and the moments that share an understanding of the way all different types of people choose to live their lives. Growing up in a naval family, he lived all around the world from South Carolina to Japan until junior high school where his family settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since the age of 13, he knew he wanted to be a photographer, and created a darkroom in the basement of his parents’ house. After high school, he studied at the University of Cincinnati and then quickly moved to study in Chicago at Columbia College.
