4th and 5th Grade Digital Photography
Through this unit, we focused on strategies that photographers use to plan and edit their digital photography. Some students focused on principles of design or elements of art, while others focused on communicating a mood, message or theme. Students used digital photography apps to combine images, as well as to edit colors and other aspects of their photographs. Here are some of our digital photographs!
Continue to talk with your child about the artwork they bring home, engaging them in conversation about their creations.
- Try to comment on the elements used in the artwork (colors, kinds of lines and shapes, textures), or the way a tool was used.
- Ask your child to describe the process or the medium (artist’s material) that they used to create the artwork. What did they like about the process or medium?
- Ask your child how the artwork makes them feel or describe to them how it makes you feel.
- Use the artwork as a spring-board for an imaginary story. Add to the story yourself and encourage your child to add to it as well.
