Photography Week

Last week the children took part in photography week as part of our new topic "To Infinity and Beyond". They took part in a Starsnappers workshop where they had the opportunity to learn about specialist equipment and take professional photographs. This was reinforced through classroom workshops. This is what happened in Year 3:

We used photographs to make collages.

 

We used watercolour pencils.

 

We made artwork using collage, paints and pastels
 

We did photograph symmetry.

 

We had to look carefully at our features and make sure the side we drew was exactly the same as the photograph.

We used pencil crayon to add colour to our portraits.

We cut up a photograph of ourselves and used it to do some weaving.

We used "Magic Collage" to create collages using the photographs we had taken.

Our Starsnappers Workshop

 

We learnt about the camera.

We got to use the equipment!

They changed the background colour for each picture!

We learnt about he equipment and how it is used to create the perfect photograph!

 

We took our own photographs. I had to take them from different views (giant's view, snail's view, eye level view and possum's view)

 

We had a celebration assembly.

Year 1 had been doing photography linked with space.

 

Year 2 had also been making collages incorporating their own photographic portraits.

Year 4 made a class collage.

Year 6 took photographs thinking about perspective.

They used photographs to create collage.

 

We really enjoyed our week learning about photography!
