This term, students in Division 7 learned a bit about the fabulous world of photography. We looked at lots of different examples of powerful photos and discussed what made them compelling. We learned about how perspective, light + shadow, and composition helps tell a story about a subject. Vocabulary words like foreground, background, and focus helped us navigate our photo-taking. Students mostly used iPads to take the photos. I wanted to introduce them to using digital cameras, but unfortunately, the ones we borrowed from the district didn’t work very well. The gallery below shows some photos taken by division students (some of the image files were too large to upload to this WordPress blog, so not everyone’s photos are shown here).
