GSH 2008 Non-Credit Afternoon Seminar Descriptions

1:30 p.m. Sessions

 

Thematic Photography

Visualizing an idea is the key concept in the thematic phography seminar. Students will select a theme and use photography to capture those moments in time that illustrate the theme conceptualized. In preparing their photos, students will gain experience in photographic composition, framing and digital imaging using Adobe Photoshop. At the end of th term, the class will produce a DVD presentation showcasing the work of the group. (Note: A 35mm or digital camera is required.)

 

Governor's School Newspaper

Want to place your special mark on the journalistic account of the 2008 GSH experience? If so, this seminar is for YOU. We need creative, enthusiastic Scholars with a special passion for writing, taking photos, editing and designing this year's newspaper, which will also be named by the staff. You will be in charge of putting together this exciting, permanent souvenir of GSH, have fun and earn a resume "hit" all at the same time. Scholars who are on their high school newspaper staffs are expecially encouraged to participate and gain further knowledge and experience, but "rookies" may also join in. We will need writiers, photographers, graphic artists and cartoonists, so we'll find something unique for everyone to contribute. We'll also need those who are skilled at planning and organizing people and information. Don't miss out on this special opportunity!

The "Ultimate" Talent Show

 

Do you and your friends at school break into song and do a dance on cue in the classroom?  Do you sing harmony on bus trips, or play guitar?  If so, we want you to perform in the final evening event for the Governor's School.  The talent show is open to all who wish to demonstrate their talents for the enjoyment of their peers.  Students also can participate as an emcee or run the lighting, sound or do work backstage.  Participants will be given rehearsal time in the theatre and in practice rooms in the Fine Arts Building and will have at least one full technical rehearsal during the week before the performance.  NOTE: If you wish to use recorded accompaniments for vocal or dance numbers, you will need to provide a high quality, clearly recorded CD (fully labeled with your name, track, etc.) to be used at the audition, rehearsals and performance.  Don’t forget to bring that when you join us in Martin.  We hope to see you on stage!!!!!
