The Big Picture Kids:
Discovering Creativity and Self-Esteem Through Photography & Art
May 29 - September 7
Studio 10

The show features photographic work by students from the Timothy Murphy School, a non-profit special education school for boys (K-12) situated on the historic St. Vincent’s School for Boy’s campus in San Rafael, California. Learning to use the camera as mode of exploration, students were asked to “see” the beauty in the world around them in new ways. They focus is on the details in nature and architecture, as well, as the big picture, including landscapes. By learning to edit and critique their own work, they uncover and embrace their unique artistic perception.

Katherine Leonard, the instructor in the program at the Timothy Murphy School, says. “I believe in the innate creativity within each of us; every person is capable of finding and developing their own artistic sensibilities. Where ever they go from here, each student will carry the ability to find and create beauty and be familiar with the experience of personal satisfaction”
