Project Overview
Teens tried out acting, modeling, and designing in this creative workshop. Teens were encouraged to play with the images to rethink them in new ways and come up with solutions due to limited set design resources. While the program asked teens to recreate a movie poster, teens also wanted to recreate an album cover. Professional portrait photographer Amy Siqveland took the photographs while library staff helped with design, which took place in our technology lab.
