NYC in Focus: Summertime Stories
Photography is everywhere, but how do you tell a story through your photographs? This two-week intensive digital photography class takes students on a whirlwind adventure around New York City while teaching them to capture their unique perspectives along the way. From the bright lights of Times Square to the nostalgia of Nathan's Famous and the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island to the unique character of our diverse neighborhoods, students use photography to show the magic of the city through their eyes. Demonstrations and hands-on lessons introduce students to the craft and aesthetics of photography as well as enhance their digital skills using the camera, computer, and printer. Through writing exercises, different techniques are presented for using words with images. Critiques led by faculty and guest artists foster confidence, as students discuss their images and reflect upon their progress. By the end of the course, students will have developed a portfolio of prints with accompanying text—telling their summertime stories. The program culminates in a final presentation for family and friends.

Exploring the Summer Landscape
Through darkroom photography, high school students are prompted to use all five senses as inspiration for documenting the landscape of summer. Classes are designed to accommodate everyone from the beginner interested in learning the basics of black-and-white photography, the more advanced student ready to hone his/her skills, or someone excited to explore the world of color. The curriculum includes: darkroom time, visual presentations, photographic and writing assignments, discussions, critiques, a guest artist visit, and a fieldtrip—all geared toward each student depicting his/her unique summer experience. Excursions include gallery visits, exploring various New York neighborhoods, and photographing alongside guest artists. The course culminates in a final presentation for family and friends. By the end of the course, students will have developed a portfolio of prints and an artist's statement.
Note: For all darkroom classes, additional field trip days will be announced.

Teen Academy Imagemakers enables motivated high school juniors and seniors to advance their photography skills and develop an awareness of the creative and professional possibilities in the field. This yearlong, weekly program provides students with guidance from some of New York's best teaching artists; field trips to museums, galleries, and studios; college-prep workshops; pre-professional assignments; mentorship opportunities in the field; and full access to ICP's facilities. The curriculum provides in-depth study of photography genres, including self-portraiture, documentary, photojournalism, personal vision, fashion, and studio work. All aspects of the curriculum are intended to encourage and inspire the students to further express and strengthen their artistic voices. At the completion of the program, students have created an extensive portfolio, including an artist's statement and resume, and are honored in a gallery exhibition. This program is best suited for students looking to pursue photography further in college or in their future. This program is closed for the 2013–2014 year. Applications for the 2014–2015 year will be available in April.
