Digital+Camera

PROJECT TITLE: Computer Graphics Story (Student and Teacher)

TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS ADDRESSED: The Digital Camera project addresses the following technology standards: STD 4.0 - Technology for Communication and Expression: Use technology to communicate information and express ideas using various media formats.STD 5.0 - Technology for Information Use and Management: Use technology to locate, evaluate, gather, and organize information and data.

DESCRIPTION: The digital camera project presented below tells two types of stories. The first digital camera project titled "Brandon and DD Story" is a compare and contrast of two student's artworks. In this presentation the students explain the requirements of the lessons and their different approaches and outcomes to the projects. This project is narrated by both students in a delightful presentation explaining their understanding and knowledge of their work.

The second digital camera project titled "Self Portrait Story" is an introduction lesson by Jamila Bellamy (teacher) on Self-Portraits. In this digital story Mrs. Bellamy clearly identifies the objective and explain the background and knowledge needed for students to understand the basics of self portraiture. Mrs. Bellamy concludes the lesson by showing finished student self-portraits, before and after images.

REFLECTION: Overall this project was enjoyable. The major challenges was deciding what the digital stories should be about and getting the narration recorded smoothly. There are two different version of each digital story. The first versions are four and five minutes long because of the detail and content that went into each project. Therefore, editing down the project posed a challenged as well. This is definitely a tool that would be useful in the art classroom.

ENJOY THE FINISHED PROJECTS. ..
