Picture This! is a free program designed to help young people from the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn develop useful skills as a means of expression and self-discovery.

Working with experienced volunteers, children involved in the program learn to use photography and creative writing as tools to examine their lives, communities, families and environment.

Picture This! is taught by photojournalist Andrew Stern and writer Glass D. Neary along with other volunteers from the 123 Community Space. It draws inspiration and lesson plans from The International Center of Photography's Focus on Photography: A Curriculum Guide which is designed to inform educators about the many possibilities and interdisciplinary applications of photographic education in school and after-school settings (grades K-12). The guide is free may be downloaded at: http://icp.org/museum/education/curriculum_guide . Picture This! combines training in visual literacy through discussions and writing with hands on photographic assignments and activities.

All materials and services are provided free by Picture This! and the 123 Space, and we are currently seeking funding and both monetary and equipment donations.

Come to the 123 Printshop and learn to print your own original posters, t-shirts, and more! Volunteers will help you out with the entire process. Bring black and white artwork on plain white paper or a transparency, and a screen if you have one. We have a small collection of screens -- you can purchase one from us for $5-$15, depending on the size and whether or not you want to keep the screen for later use. The fee for exposing your artwork on the screen is $3-$5. We also provide affordable screenprinting services, but really encourage doing it yourself. It's a skill you can use forever.

We plan to add more weekly open hours in the near future, and will be holding free screenprinting classes in the upcoming weeks. All ages and skill levels are welcome!

Spanish Translators Course

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 23:13:24 -0700

Start: 09/01/2008 - 7:00pm

End: 09/01/2008 - 8:30pm

The first course will be three weeks long so please register. This
is the first class out of three.

This course is for all levels of Spanish speakers, from those that know a
word or sentence to those that only need practice.

The purpose of the course is for people who are interested in learning
Spanish to have a hands on space where Spanish will be made accessible
through practical exercises. These classes will not be grammar focused. They
will focus on participants practicing the components for conversations and
interpretations.

The goal for those who commit to the ongoing three week schedule of classes
will be to have a functioning knowledge of Spanish (the style spoken in
Mexico anyway) and be working up the capacity to be a translator.
