Workshop: 

Digital Photography

Todd Drake has 17 years experience teaching at the college level and has taught photography and other studio classes all over the world and to all ages and skill levels. Whether teaching non-artists how to better use their smart phone camera, or master classes with photography majors, Drake can customize a curriculum to meet your learning community's needs. 

Workshop:

Activating your social activist art practice

Do you have a group of students that you want to help become more socially aware and active? Bring Todd Drake in to create fun and content filled art like silkscreen T-shirts that have a social activist message. A great activity for artists and non-artists interested in learning visual communication skills.

Speaking:

Art and Social Activism

Drake can speak on his provocative work, on engaging art made by other contemporary social practice artists, or both. Drake's speaking style captures a group's attention through memorable narratives and compelling imagery.



Visiting Artist:

Critiques, Master Classes

Drake is experienced offering critiques to college and graduate programs. Multi-day  or semester long visiting artist arrangements are available. 




" This has been one of the best experiences for our students, for they have been given an opportunity to learn about themselves and photography. We have been given an outlet for our students that will hopefully be carried into other classes and continue throughout future years. We hope to be able to bring Todd Drake back into our school for future opportunities, as well. Our students need and deserve to be seen and heard, as well as to learn how to advocate for themselves through visual images."
