Homework 6 ( 4) Think about photography for a little bit and about its materiality and the process of taking a picture. Make 3 connections to children. (I skipped the photographic lesson plan as I don't want to ask too much from you).
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
― Ansel Adams
“What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
― Karl Lagerfeld
“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
― Dorothea Lange
The process of taking a picture is quite simple, while the outcome of taking a picture is extraordinary.
This is perfect for children because a camera allows a child to create artwork with a click of a button, Yes, skill and technique are important in photography at a higher level. For children skill is not important nor is technique, what is important is that they can explore and capture the world in a single click.
Through photography children can be taught much about art. By looking at photos they have taken and from taking pictures much can be learned about composition, color and even perspective.
Photography is a great tool for children because unlike other media they may use at a young age cameras allow them to capture an image, or an experience without the anxieties of being accurate.
