Photography Class Creates Photography Exhibition Based on Nature Walks in Caron Park, Rice County
The ACE component of this class was a joint project between a St. Olaf College class taught by Professor Meg Ojala and a Carleton College class taught by Professor Linda Rossi. Funding for this project was provided by a Mellon Foundation-sponsored Broadening the Bridge grant. Students learned about natural history from River Bend Nature Center naturalists as they walked through Caron Park, a Rice County Park in rural Faribault, and took photographs. Student photographs and accompanying writings were presented to the public at an event held at Carleton’s Weitz Center for Creativity and at St. Olaf College’s Groot Gallery in Northfield, Minnesota (May-June 2016). The digital images and framed photographs were donated to Rice County Parks and Facilities. Scroll down to view more images or visit the gallery link under “Resources”.
