| techniques |
| Unfortunately
we were unable to film a techniques section with Wang Qingsong
during the short time he was in the country. |
| influences |
| classroom workshops |
| The digital photography classroom workshop was led by artist
Amanda Kennington. Amanda shows examples of artists who use
expression and perspective in their work and then shows the
young people how to use the same techniques. The workshop
culminates in some outide shots using cheap animal masks.
The pupils involved in this workshop were Yr11 and 12 working
in groups of two and three. The movement photos require a
tripod. Digital cameras with memory cards are preferred because
they allow the pupils to take many more images before haveing
to download to a laptop or desktop computer. Remember you
will need the usb cable to connect to a laptop or other computer.
The movement photos can be improved by using the camera with
the flash on. Plain clothes for the pupils being photographed
works best. See also Rebecca Chesney Classroom workshop, Photography Amanda Kennington Umlando classroom workshop, Photoshop |
