"Neighborhoods” Thompson School District photographers document and interpret the region

"Neighborhoods" features approximately 70 black and white silver gelatin images which were created and printed in the Artworks darkroom of artist Bob Campagna. For the Neighborhoods exhibit, middle school student photographers designed their own regional photographic journeys. The total of diverse journeys combines for the exhibit, with geographic locations which include: Estes Park, Benson Sculpture Garden, downtown Loveland, Colorado State University campus, Old Town Ft. Collins, Rock Ridge Ranch, Masonville, and other locales.

The exhibit’s sixty student artists come from: Lucile Erwin, Bill Reed, Turner, Conrad Ball, and Walt Clark Middle Schools.

“During the photo outings, our students’ conformity gave way to confidence and creativity,” explained Sue Teumer, Gifted and Talented educator at Lucile Erwin Middle School. “Each idea at the early stops seemed to be the idea of the group, as the day progressed, students became comfortable finding unique angles, taking one-of-a-kind shots and really engaging in conversations with their photo subjects.” And thus an exhibit is born.

Since fall 2000, Artworks artist Bob Campagna has taught an annual black and white photography workshop through the Gifted and Talented program in the Thompson School District. This exhibit marks the 15th such workshop.

All student artwork is for sale; 70% to student photographer and 30% to Artworks nonprofit.
