My dear friend Sarah posted this neat lesson to artsonia where she did contour line portraits with her 2nd graders and I thought... hey I could do contour line with my 5th graders. So we started a fun portrait project that is fun. (Warning: My kiddos are still working on theirs so I am using my finished one as a an example. You will be subjected to looking at this more pics of me than you want!) The students started by learning about contour line drawing and doing some practice. Then I gave them a photograph of themselves and "let them get to it." They did a great job of drawing "one non stop line that shows the outside edges and main details while just glancing at the paper." Next they took their photograph and looked for light and dark areas; which they drew out with pencils. ( I did my first example with colored pencil but found that markers work much better) They selected at least 3 colors to finish their images. They are turning out pretty fun! I have to remind them that their hair and clothes are a part of them but they are liking it. When they are done, I am going to show them how they can do these same effects using photo editing software. (pixlr.com, befunky.com, picasa) I will post some of the finished ones when they are done. ... actually just check out our artsonia site... p.s. This pic is from my little bro's wedding this summer. I don't usually get this dressed up. I have to share the original because it is one of my favorites... simply because of who is sharing the picture with me. My daughter Haylee... the cutest little flower girl!

If anyone has come to you for advice on how to take better photos, here's a quick photography cheat sheet that you can share with them.
If you've read your camera manual and looked up photography online, you must of heard of aperture. If you have not, aperture simply controls the amount of light the lens allows to reach the digital sensor (how bright or dark your pictures will be, and the amount of the picture that will be in focus). The most confusing thing about aperture is understanding that the higher the number (f-stop) the less amount of light that will reach your picture. The lower the number (f-stop) the more light that will reach your picture. It's kind of backwards in your thinking as you would normally think the larger number the more light, but thats just not how it works. So bigger number = less light, smaller number = more light. The number I refer to is called an f-stop. If you put your camera mode dial into AV mode you'll be able to experiment with with the different settings and amount of light into your pictures. AV mode will set all your other settings for you (ISO, Shutter speed, etc... more about those setting later). So the question is what aperture do you need with what picture settings. Many people like the look of the blurred background, to achieve this you will set your f-stop to a low number, the lower the number the more light there will be on your subject and the more blur you'll have in your background. This picture was taken with the f-stop set at 2.8 (the lowest setting on the lens I was using): You will notice how the background is blurred to the point that you can't even make out what it is. Now here is an example with the f-stop set at 22 (the highest for the lens I was using): The focus is still on the subject, but you can see the trees in the background. The next question is when would you use a high number f-stop. When shooting anything other then a subject directly in front of you, you would want a higher number f-stop. When shooting a landscape or a group of people it's imperative to use a high number f-stop to keep everything in focus and to showcase all the details. I shot at each f-stop of the same subject so you could see the difference, there is only a subtle difference between some of the shots, but a big difference from the ones at the higher and the lower end of the scale. Those were all shot in AV mode, which means my camera did all the other settings for me, I personally only shoot in M (manual mode) as I like to have complete control over my images, but AV mode is fine and really helps you learn and practice what different apertures will do to your images. One final note, lenses are rated on focal length (the magnification distance) and their aperture value. If your lens states that it's a 70-200 5.6, that means your maximum focal length is 200mm, and the widest aperture is 5.6. The smaller the aperture value the smaller the depth of field (more blur), and the larger the aperture value the larger the depth of field (less blur, more focus on the entire scene). I hope this lesson was simple and gives you a better understanding of aperture, of course the best way to really wrap your had around it is to practice, practice, practice. Many point and shoot cameras have an AV setting as well, so your not limited if you don't own a dslr.

I've been reading photographers' discussions on various external strobe accessories. I had these tests done some years back for my textbook, "Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach." From top to bottom, the Indoor/Outdoor comparisons are for: Direct Flash Bouncing the strobe off a ceiling Lumiquest Omnidome Through an umbrella Off an umbrella Through a softbox Outdoors or in a large ballroom or gymnasium, all the accessories work less well at softening shadows. The scattered light rays coming from the accessories have few surfaces to bounce off. Notice, in the outdoor series, that the shadow behind the model is darker in almost each situation. For these tests, the subject remained at the same distance from the background, and the strobe was located nine feet from the subject. Note that there are newer flash accessories on the market for softening light. All are subject to the same laws of physics.
Science Picture of the Day is a critical thinking activity where students practice analyzing, inferring, and observing real life science in photographs. Targeted skills include making observations and growing scientific vocabulary. The goal is for students to observe science in our everyday lives. These pictures each represent at least one branch of science – physical science, earth science, and life science – and can be utilized for nearly any topic of study in the science curriculum. Regardless of what grade level or content you are studying, students should be able to recognize many examples of science in all pictures. This meets the common core standards of RI.1 (Inference, Key Details and Informational Text) along with SL.2 and 4 (Key discussion and use of vocabulary). Furthermore, this open-ended activity is a great way to get your students to think deeper and more critically. I have provided an answer key for each picture prompt, but the science seen in these pictures are not limited to my answers, as there are many aspects of science in our daily lives. Be sure to have students justify their reasoning, and how deep you go with the science concepts is up to your discretion.

The 7th Graders have finished their "Shades of Summer" self portraits this week and I think they are amazing! Before we began the project, students did a pre-drawing of themselves by looking in a mirror (I tried to take some photos of those, but they were so lightly drawn and sketchy that I couldn't get anything that really showed up). The next step of the project was to use the grid method on a photograph to create a map for drawing their facial features and outlines. This method helps students stop drawing symbols of lips, eyes, hair, etc. like in the examples above, and actually draw their correctly proportioned and uniquely shaped features. They added value (shading) with various graphite pencils to make their portraits appear three dimensional, had an art critique, and then used watercolor pencils to create a reflection depicting a summer memory in their sunglasses... I hope these artists are proud of the work- I sure am! And a bonus, because this picture cracks me up :)

Inspired by pinterest... I took photos of the children a few days before starting the lesson. Use a white background when taking the profile photo. Use photo shop to create the silhouette or other photo editing software. I had the silhouettes printed on large 11x17 paper at my office. The day we started the lesson we talked about the elements of art, line, shape, form, value, space and some principles such as pattern and rhythm with the use of a power point. To finish the class, I had students trace them on the light table on 12x18 paper. Students also practiced creating patterns based on some examples on a worksheet I created for practicing the zentangle designs. I assessed the students designs and discussed some more options, ideas and things to stay away from on day two. I also equipped each table with some step by step zentangle pages I got from various sources on the internet including pinterest. These helped a lot! Students outlined their pencil silhouette with black sharpie. We then started dividing the background into large sweeping sections. Students then began creating Zentangles in the sections using ultra fine point sharpies and regular sharpies to fill in areas with black. After a few days of working, we decided the final step would be to fill in the silhouettes with black. I did experiment with adding watercolor in a wash and tie-dyed fashion to the background. That looked cool too. We didn't do that to our final project due to time needs for our short time together. The final results were great! I made suggestions for students to add details to areas, add more contrast by adding blacked out areas and finally to spend a little time sharpening and cleaning up various lines. The turned out GREAT!
