Perspective

Album Description

It is a matter of perspective. I think analyzing perspective is a powerful activity to do with any grade level of student  Pre K - 2   3 - 5   6 - 8 . I would have the students take one photograph at a time and think about what they see for one minute then add a different perspective of the same event to consider what they think is happening. Note how a perspective of the photographer can change your perspective of an event.

Have students consider this as they look at any medium. What is the purpose? Why did the photographer choose this angle? How does the angle of the subject change your perspective? What did you first think? What do you think with the last photograph? Even changing the order of the photographs can change your thinking.  bestof
