2021 6th Grade Photography Projects

Photographs and writing reflecting the neighborhoods and environments in San Pablo and Richmond, on the east side of San Francisco Bay in California.

The students learn photography from WSE instructors, then sign out cameras to explore their places, and produce a visual project including one of their photos and a piece of writing.

Each year several student photos are chosen for permanent display on the walls of their school.
