A few weeks back we introduced the theme of capturing “action’ for our After School Photo Club! This exercise is great for getting the children not only moving around but thinking about shutter speed and how to freeze an action in the frame. We brought props like colour ribbons and balls for them to use
The five senses is a great theme for After School Photo Club as it requires the children to really consider how their senses allow them to experience their environment. Interpreting that into pictures really challenges them and it’s great to see them look around the playground and classroom for inspiration. It was interesting to see
As well as teaching our students how to notice colour and light in their surroundings we also encourage them to use the black and white setting on their cameras to make a study of tone and texture. Often removing the colour from an image can allow the viewer to really see what the photographer wishes
Our next theme for After School Photo Club was “What is it?” Where we encourage the children to look for frame that is so obscure it is difficult to tell straight away what the image is of. They used the flower setting on their Nikon Coolpix cameras to zoom in and create their close up
A great way for children to learn how to use different angles and perspectives in photography is to have them look through the view finder as if they were an ant. Keeping their cameras down low and looking at everything from a different position increases their ability to make more creative decisions in their compositions.
