The HTA Art Department is starting an online photo gallery (soon to be found on myhta.org), based on given monthly
themes. The gallery needs to be filled… with your photos!
What story do you want to share? Take shots up-close or far away. Take shots of your own feet or your friend’s feet. Take
them of dirty, sandy or pretty bare-feet. Take shots of jumping, skipping, or lazy feet in funky shoes. Think about the background too – is it important to your
story? Be as creative as you can! Take a digital photo – from your phone or a camera – and attach it in a Kmail or email
to Ms. Malia Andrus at [email protected].
Limit one image per student per month.
In your submission, please include
-Student’s Name/Grade -Photo location or 1-sentence
description
Gallery is open to HTA students and faculty. Contact Ms. Andrus if you have
any questions.
