Kid's View connects kids to their community through art.
Kid's View Cooks will will introduce kids to photography, local food gardening and cooking this Fall through a series of trips to local food gardens and a community kitchen where they will prepare their own recipes. Kids will learn basic photographic composition and technical controls of digital photography at Prairie’s Northside studio. Students will then travel to local food gardens to learn about how different foods are raised, harvested and turned into healthy recipes. After photographing local farms and community gardens, students will work under the guidance of a local chef in the community kitchen at the Emanuel Community Center to develop and photograph their own dishes using locally sourced foods. At the end of the program, kids will create their own cookbooks using recipes developed by the Kid’s View team and hold a public exhibit of their images.
All supplies, equipment and materials are provided. Staff will consist of David Rosenthal, Prairie's Director, Luke Ebener, the director of Permaganic, Inc. a local urban food garden and Prairie volunteers.
