Day Two
Today was fairly quick and easy. We continued using the Visual Training Strategies methodology to talk about design elements of photography. Children are so perceptive. Many of the youth pointed out interesting aspects in the photographs that I never would have seen/thought. There is NEVER a dull moment in working with youth, which is one of the many reasons I love so much to do this type of project with them. After discussing a handful of very different photos, we made a list of specific photos to take out on a photo scavenger hunt. They included things such as: take a picture of the same object from three different angles, take a photo where lines are important, where shapes are important, where light is important, take a portrait of a person, etc. It was definitely a learning process for the kids and next week they will be editing their photos and picking their favorite. I will be posting them soon, so watch for them!
For now, here is a teaser, again, taken by Katherin.
