Photography

Materiality of Photography

- capturing a moment

- seeing things in different perspectives

- shining light to dark things

- manipulating vs. imagining

- can tell you a story

- make you imagine places, times, moments, memories

Connecting photography to children:

Capture something within a box

Learning: Students will learn that the way we frame things can create meaning to them

What does it mean to capture something in motion? 

Learning: Students will learn that there are certain markers that tell us something is moving

Find something that's "cool" or "pretty"

Learning: Students will learn that there are multiple definitions of what "cool" and "pretty" are

Capture an image of something you notice that you don't think other people notice

Learning: Students will learn that we all see and pay attention to different things.

Things that are important to you

Learning: Students will learn that we all have different things that are important to us.

Things that remind you of good things vs. things that remind you of bad things

Learning: Students will learn that we all have different experiences that remind us of good and bad things.
