Little Photographers

One of my goals this year is to introduce my students to all forms of art. Often times, as teachers, I think we forget about art that doesn't somehow include construction paper, paint, glue, or scissors.

For this lesson I showed my little learners books with photography. I explained that photographers are artists, too. Then, throughout the week, each student was able to use my camera to take pictures of anything they thought was interesting, beautiful, or cool. I printed the pictures and made a great book for our school lobby.

The kids had so much fun being a photographer for a day. Their pictures encouraged a lot of conversations and the students love sharing their pictures with anyone who walks in the classroom door.

These are a few of my favorites. I love the interesting angles and shadows.
