The children [year 4 and 5] collected numerous natural objects that
interested them such as rocks, grasses, sand, leaves, pebbles, shells,
sticks, bunny tails, bark etc
The items were arranged
in any style or shape they wanted - they had to consider pattern,
texture, tone and background as well as lighting and shadows
Considerations also had to be made for layering
The creation was photographed from different angles and using macro and super macro on the digital cameras
They
also used various tricks to get different perspectives and often had
buddies to create a background if needed to change the lighting or block
out the backgrounds of unwanted objects
They used iPhoto to boost the colour or change to speia or add a vignette effect
The finished creations were then whittled down to between 3 - 6 chosen images and arranged on a WORD doc for display and printed onto photo quality paper
