Photography

Photography is an important art form because people take pictures everyday  It is very important to teach your students about the different techniques to taking pictures!  With this, students can improve the quality of their pictures and also put more thought into how they take their pictures for now on.  Here are the four photography techniques:

Disturbance

• The frame is disturbed because of something in the photo that is out off along the edge of the rectangle.
• "A frame inside a frame"

  Promixity

• The distance between the camera and the subject
• Getting up close and personal!

Vantage Point

• Refers to where you are
• Below, above, outside, inside
• anywhere other than your eye level\

Place

• A clue of where you took the picture
• The background

It's also important for your students to know and understand the compositional rules:

Rule of Thirds

Golden Spiral

Golden Triangle

To create a lesson out of this, your students could take pictures showing the composition methods and the photojournalism techniques around your school or have them take pictures of things meaningful to them incorporating the techniques!
