ICON members are working in partnership with Rhodes Art Centre and the Lottery Awards for All to go around junior schools in the area. We provide the children with diaposable cameras and give them a talk on how to use them, what sort of things to look for, some of the pitfalls, etc. The children have been very enthusiastic, full of questions, and keen to get 'snapping'.
After the films are processed, the best 100 will be enlarged, mounted and framed. These will then be hung in a special exhibition in Rhodes Art centre. It is hoped that we can also have a wall of images from those children who did not get chosen for the main exhibition, so that everybody will have at least one image on show.
The members of ICON have found it very rewarding working with these children, their enthusiasm has rubbed off on all of us, giving our own photography a boost.
