The purpose of this lesson is to teach the students about drawing from virtual experiences and also to allow them to explore different parts of the world. It is also a way to teach them about perspective! The students will discover how to use interactive websites, and will be able to create a beautiful piece of art from observing these pictures and videos. They will gain artistic experience by drawing from their virtual experiences and creating a landscape drawing.
The idea of this lesson is to expand on the knowledge of landscapes from the previous lesson (Going on an Adventure, linked above). They will be photographing either landscapes or in landscape, they will be asked to photograph the outside world (nature) in a creative way (for example inside looking out). This will challenge the students to think about the natural world, and our perspective of it.
The big idea for this lesson is to continue the students learning of photography, and how lighting can change, and change the mood of your image. They will be learning more about the natural world, and how throughout the day lighting changes, and changes your photographs.
