Lesson+Ideas

Plans [|Still Life]

[|Macro Photography]: this lesson combines writing with illustrations, but I think we can use this technique to explore macro photography of the same subjects

[|Understanding Lighting]: students create their own simple camera, combines science and photography to explain light

[|Dream Bed]: this lesson is for drawing, but combines writing descriptions. We can change the drawing element to photography, giving homework to photograph their own bed.

[|Photography as a Story Teller]

[|Transforming Negative to Positive]: teach students about 35mm film photography and double exposure, explores geometry and organic elements -- LOVE this one

[|Camera simulator]

perspective - Ss take a pic from above something (from the 2nd floor?) and then from below it (from the floor) and even to it. Above someone from the floor of someone to see how it makes people come across different in pics.

A thousand words - Ss take a pic of their whole room from the door, then put a few items that are impt. to them on their beds and take a pic. What tells a better story?

What's the main idea? Ss must decide what they want to focus on and how they're going to make that the focus or the main idea of the photo
