Digital Imaging

Digital Imaging could be used within the classroom to enhance student's learning in many ways.

I will connect the use of digital imaging to the Grade 6 Arts Education curriculum, focusing on Unit Three: Traditions & Innovations. This unit focuses on the roles visual images play in the community, and the many connections between visual art and daily life.

If I were teaching this unit, I would have students go outside during art class or on the weekend and take some close-up pictures of everyday objects in nature. We would get these pictures developed and students will attempt to continue the scene on their own. This will help them to visualize what they saw outside and to get them to interact with nature in a more intensive way than they otherwise would have.
