| Title |
Chronicles of Teen Participants from the Leave Out Violence (LOVE) Photojournalism Project
|
| Abstract |
The field of art education has long recognized the immense potential for both personal and social transformation that can be realized through the practice, teaching and learning of art. The author was a co-founder and photography teacher of the Leave Out Violence (LOVE) Photojournalism Project started in 1995 at the Montreal CEGEP, Dawson College. This after-school project teaches photojournalism to adolescents, many of whom are labeled as being "at-risk," and whose lives have been affected by violence. Engaging in photography and writing, the participants explore and document the issues surrounding violence in their lives and in their community. Drawing on the fields of art education, critical and social pedagogy, adolescent development and qualitative research, the lives of the teens are examined with the goal of understanding how involvement in a community-based arts project can play a significant role in shaping the fragile lives of teens as well shaping the photographs they produce while actively involved in such a project.
