Children's Photographic Workshops

Jenn Gilgan, Children's EducationThe Children's Photography Workshops at FMoPA are structured to help children ages 7 - 10 learn basic photography skills in an entertaining environment. Classes range from building pinhole cameras to taking  digital photos out on the streets of downtown Tampa. Through the help of these workshops the children will grow increasingly more comfortable  with understanding photography in its various forms.

The instructor is Jenn Gilgan, FMoPA’s staff assistant, who is currently working on her Master of Arts in Teaching at the University of South Florida.  She is a semi-professional photographer with a Bachelors Degree in Marketing from Bucknell University.  An experienced classroom instructor, she is a member of Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). Please feel free to contact Jenn at 813.221.2222 or by email at jenng@fmopa.org with any questions.

To enroll, please call (813) 221-2222 or email MuseumManager@FMoPA.org

A full refund will be given until one week before the class.  No refunds will be given less than one week before the class.

Students may borrow a FMoPA Workshop digital camera if their camera does not have the functions required for the lesson.  It is recommended for them to bring a flash-card/memory stick to save their images.  Some workshops will include an activity which the students take home their work.

Workshops / events presented by the museum are designed specifically for children.  The content is based on the exhibit appearing at the time or a special event and involves a tour of the art work and hands-on experience.  Sign up now for FMoPA’s Children's Photographic Workshops!
