Activity 5 Studio:
Photowalk Challenge / Rule of Thirds (Upload to Class Instagram Site during lesson 9!) Cyanotype #2 - Hybrid of Film and Digital Camera or Cell Phone Camera Computer or Phone Application Pixlr Web Based Photo Editor Internet/Email Printable Overhead Projector Sheets Glass Panes (electrical taped around edges) Sunprint Cyanotype Photo Paper Trays with tap water Photo Tongs or Kitchen Tongs Students will briefly be introduced to the “Rule of Thirds” in composition and design of photographic images. http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds http://photo.tutsplus.com/articles/composition-articles/quick-tip-the-rule-of-thirds/ http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/rule-of-thirds.htm Students will then take some of the ideas about photography, photographing people and places and go for a photowalk around campus. Students will be given opportunity to shoot on their own time too. This lesson could be started now and completed after shooting for homework time was given. (Suggested after lesson 5). Teacher will explain the project as thus: Students will need to choose one image from their photowalk and/or homework. Once the photos of choice have been made students will email the photo to teacher for approval. (A personal formative assessment can be made as to whether the student has used the rule of thirds). Students will then load the photo onto the computer, or use their cell phones to invert the image to a negative. Students will then email final negative to teacher. Teacher will print each negative onto overhead projector sheets, unless students have the means to do this themselves, with teacher guidance. Students will then follow the process from Cyanotype #1 to create a test strip and then a final print from their hybrid negative. (The only difference is instead of using physical organic material, they will use their printed negative from digital file). Students will turn in for grade and display in library. Students will write about their experience in the “AST Website Scavenger Hunt Learning Log.” |
