Photography teacher, Matt Theilen, explained the students’ assignment: “The Carson High School photography students are asked to create a 15-piece conceptual body of work in which all pieces must relate back to their central topic throughout the first semester. They are given few parameters, other than that work must be acceptable for a high school aged audience, must be cohesive, and must be printed to 11×14 format. Students are asked to choose three to four of their 15 total pieces to enter the Photo Finished 2023 art show. The works are a collection from Advanced Photo II and Photo III students.”
Sharon Rosse, CCAI Executive Director, said “CCAI looks forward to this annual collaboration with Carson High and is delighted to again present work by these talented students. Their professional work presents creative and diverse photographic achievements.”
This show is another in CCAI’s ongoing series of student exhibitions in the Brick.
