The Doors Of Bellport
 Recently,
Bellport High School students in Suzette Fandale’s Photography II and
III classes were given the assignment to photograph the doors in
Bellport Village based on architectural style and detail. The 28
students photographed the doors, worked on them in Photoshop, and
created the final poster, shown to the left, using layout and design
techniques discussed in a workshop given by Fandale and Brandon Payne,
an art teacher at the high school. The students spent roughly three
weeks working on the assignment. The cameras that were used were Canon
S3 IS.
The students whose work was chosen for the poster are:
Christine Jaeger, Jade Doherty, Kamilah Blackett, Kerin Lawlor, Joanna
Kulesza, Michelle Deehan, Amy Pfeifle, Emily Hagermann, Mike Porto, Sam
Isla, Rebecca Lomuto and Megan Lane.
Christine Jaeger (graduate 08, going onto Pratt) did the final layout
and design for the poster. The original poster, 24x36, was donated to
the South Country Education Foundation and auctioned off at their
Cocktail Party and Benefit. It was purchased by Pamela Lerner.
The project was funded by the South Country Education Foundation in
their Fall 2007 grants. The $2500+ grant covered the materials and
equipment needed, including three new digital cameras for the high
school. For the full list of grants from last fall (and other grant
cycles as well) including "The Doors of Bellport,"

The current poster, 18x24, is available at Pamela Lerner Antiques for
$20. The proceeds from the sale will benefit the Art Program at Bellport
High School. Click on the image for a larger version.
