MATTERS OF THE HEART challenged students to be photographer and writer. Students utilized the camera to document and interpret. They explored through the lens and used the magic of black and white film. Thoughtfully planning their routes, students embarked on a journey of planned and unpredictable discovery. Extraordinary as well as small details were photographed. Students then paired words with their chosen exhibition image to express their “matter of the heart.” Students visited downtown Loveland and surrounding places including Berthoud, Lyons, Boulder, Estes Park, Fort Collins, Rocky Mountain National Park, the Poudre River canyon, Masonville, Timnath, the Big Thompson Canyon, Rock Ridge Ranch, and Horsetooth Reservoir. Photo journeys are timeless, without bells to interrupt or grades to assign. Students created their images in the traditional, magical and time-honored professional darkroom of Studio 119 at Artworks Center for Contemporary Art. Techniques, such as a filed negative carrier, spray or hand application of chemistry and shadows are used to make one-of- a-kind images. All are exhibition worthy and created from each artist’s visionary heart. Exhibit photos are printed on Ilford fiber glossy, silver gelatin fine art paper. They are mounted and custom matted with acid-free materials to meet museum standards. I learned the floating mount style of matting in Ansel Adams’ archives while volunteering in Yosemite National Park. Unlike previous years, the COVID-19 pandemic closed the Artworks north gallery where this student exhibition was to hang. In response, I digitized all student works so that their beautiful creations could be widely seen. In October, 2000 I presented my first photo workshop as a guest artist/teacher in the Thompson School District. Since then I have annually been privileged to teach photography to almost 2,000 TSD students. As an artist within Artworks Center for Contemporary Art, I am challenged, influenced, taught and encouraged by my colleagues. Additional funding support was provided by NOVO Restoration and the NOCO Gifted Community. Artworks provides the darkroom and exhibition facility. I provide other in-kind materials.
Thank you student artists, supportive parents, donors, and especially colleagues Sue Teumer, Janice Marchman, Kelly Parks, Mary Pat Hayden-Davis, Kristi Leonard, Jennifer Sinnett, Robert Moore, Will LaGory and TSD GT coordinator Carol Swalley. After 20 years teaching photography here, the 2020 GT photo project is my final workshop in Loveland. My wife Susan Hoyler (retiring as Bill Reed counselor) and I will move to be near family in my home state of Iowa. You all are appreciated and will be missed. Your creativity will endure and be a gift to the future.
