2nd Class Adventures
Eeks! I've been posting the Visual Seeing posts to another blog of mine...alas, here we go!
Low turnout today, but immense fun had by all. Both Friedolin and Krystov turned out some gorgeous prints from the past week! They shared their favorite photographs with one another mentioning why they liked the particular picture, why they took it, what they noticed after seeing the developed picture. Friedolin took off with portraits of his family; including dress-ups and montages. Hopefully we'll get his pictures up here soon! Krystov went strawberry picking with his family and documented harvesting, and photographed his two different dogs in two different ways!
We then read an excerpt from the book "Ways of Seeing"; a passage described from the perspective of a camera, the "mechanical eye". Krystov pointed out that we are all magical; this rang true in a writing activity using similes and metaphors to describe things from our bellies to our neighborhoods. Since each student lives in a different neighborhood we compared our "likes and dislikes" of these areas and found that there are some overlapping sentiments: only liking weeds sometimes, limited playing area, etc. We came up with some cool ways to photograph them.
Leticia joined us mid-class and we clued her into our list compiling of the pros/cons of "summer".
