My first choice is to have them find and shoot principles and elements. I will use your photos as examples!<br /><br />RinaRina k6art.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221543895982147381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-65712933217646974252012-08-27T08:30:26.850-04:002012-08-27T08:30:26.850-04:00Hey Phyl, I was looking at a blog post today and i...Hey Phyl, I was looking at a blog post today and it reminded me of your nature photos... have you ever seen Gennine's art blog? The site is: blogdelanine.blogspot.com <br />She takes beautiful nature photos and uses them as inspiration for her art work. She does beautiful birds! Check it out!

What I wanted to say is this: I'm untrained in digital photo, and often frustrated with all the automatic stuff, but never remember how to manually change settings in time for what I am photographing.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-48363427946617120852012-08-26T22:14:44.619-04:002012-08-26T22:14:44.619-04:00I also spent a lot of time this summer taking phot...I also spent a lot of time this summer taking photos I plan to use in teaching this year. Wish I had the funds to give each child a camera to go out and find his/her own examples of Art Elements/Principles!! I found that the search was an enriching experience from which kids would benefit, too!!<br /><br />I don't start seeing students in my program until the third week of school. I must say that this was the first year (this is my third year of official retirement) that I didn't feel a tug to be at school that first week! I did stop by the first day to help out, but won't be back there for a few more days yet:))Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-19642375315920266042012-08-26T22:13:18.862-04:002012-08-26T22:13:18.862-04:00Thanks, Pat.

Most of my readers wouldn't know this, but my first 8 years teaching were in a high school, where, along with other art courses, I taught photography (black & white darkroom). I had been hired because I had a college photography concentration. But that was the days of silver photo labs and manual cameras.

I would definitely use your photo's as a way of showcasing the elements and principles, with your permission of course. I will get a big kick out of telling the kids that I have a friend in upstate New York, that I've never met before, who is a retired art teacher who takes beautiful photo's of nature that just happen to illustrate art terms. They will have a million questions, but I'm sure I can tell them all about you!<br /><br />:)PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481951771573117224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-803046123162775302012-08-26T21:16:08.537-04:002012-08-26T21:16:08.537-04:00Don't really know yet...
