March Art in the Library Exhibit

The Boulder Junction Public Library welcomes the public to view their March Art in the Library exhibit featuring students who participated in the library’s Photography 101 Class taught by David Mayeau. The public is invited to meet the artists at a reception to be held on Saturday, March 15 from 12:30-2 pm in the library. At 1pm, Dave will talk about what the students learned and then each student will give a brief description of their photos. The event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served.

The Photography 101 exhibit will feature one or two photos from each student. The class learned about the photography triangle and how to use their cameras in ways to capture better photographs. One of the ways is to use shutter speed to capture things of different speeds. Another way is F-stop to change depth of field in their photographs.

David Mayeau taught the Photography 101 class to help others understand, enjoy, and be able to take better pictures with their cameras. His interest in art started in grade school art class. David’s father is an artist and encouraged him to express himself in various artistic formats. Childhood outdoor explorations and activities, often as a family, led him to appreciate nature in all its wonder. His formal art training was received at Northern Illinois University. David is an abstract acrylic painter, nature photographer, and does sculptures of wild things.
