There are so many uses and possibilities for this in a fine arts classroom. We are constantly "making memories" and building a sense of community as an extra curriculur class. Because we are more than just a "class" - in fact a "family" of a sort - we can use this in numerous ways to enhance the fine arts experience. A few that have come to me right away are creating slide shows to be used in recruiting, organizing pictures from our trips and competitions, making slide shows for Banquets, Spring Shows, and Talent Shows to name just a few. I would love to hear of other ways and ideas from more experienced photographers and other fine arts teachers!
I've decided that my topic will be "Why Fine Arts?" and because,specifically in a choir setting, students have a sense of belonging,importance, and are able to express themselves in ways that they may not be able to in other classes, Flickr can be another way of illustrating and collaboratively organizing those experiences as this photo shows,by photographer Kim Strezz.http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimstrezz/3127447574/. Lots of fun and expression going on here!
