Fire Up Your Creativity With SPY (Spark Your Creativity) For the October 2014 launch of NYC Spark Your Creativity (SPY) for groups, founder Roberta Fineberg uses photography as a medium for boosting creativity in a customized group experience geared towards enhancing discovery, imagination, and 'sap ere vedere' to develop skills that benefit professional achievement and personal satisfaction. New York, NY, October 17, 2014 (NYC) /PressReleasePing/ - Sapere vedere’ is an Italian expression, literally translating to "knowing how to see." NYC Spark Your Creativity or SPY offers not only a photography lesson but also a journey to unleash participants' potential to be creatively adventurous, while encoraging skills that successfully translate in the workplace, including cooperation (team building), strategic problem solving, and overall professional growth.
Before SPY, Roberta Fineberg created Images and Words, a class that emphasized learning language through images, discussion, and storytelling. “By integrating writing, art, photography and technology,” Ms. Fineberg explains, “the SPY methodology encourages a creative and analytical approach to problem solving.” Fluent in French, proficient in Italian, combined with English, her native language, Roberta Fineberg concurs that “Spy attracts audiences from around the globe.”
With a dslr, point and shoot, or iPhone, participants are led on an inspirational photo hunt to discover unknown and known treasures of New York City, using the rule of thirds, negative and positive space, while exploring intuition and personal vision. Photo techniques assist participants in creating amazing results, while the focus on composition opens minds to fresh perspectives for capturing the essence of surrounding environments. The sessions not only teach ISO, shutter speed, aperture settings, shooting in manual, highlights and shadows, depth of field and other essential components - but also SPY finds the source of students’ creativity and helps them tap into new ways of thinking. SPY techniques provide creative yet feasible strategies that can be implemented immediately, say, in the boardroom, classroom, in the office, at workplaces or in organizations.
With over 103 workshops and counting, reviews from attendees have been overwhelmingly positive, citing the benefits of a SPY workshop:
