The five-week course will include a lesson introducing photography, three field trips to take photos in nearby towns, and a class on matting and framing their favorite photos for a gallery display. The New Britain Museum of American Art will promote the students’ photos with a reception at the museum on Aug. 20, to debut the work that will remain on display through Aug. 22.
