Work of Art

What I found most inspirational in this module was seeing pictures that my group members posted. Seeing the submissions is encouraging me to look at everything thing differently. So as I move through my day I have been trying to keep my eyes open for finding what is "interesting" in everyday things. It was interesting learning more about the mechanics behind what goes into good photography and shot composition. Photography is one of those activites that can be so simple on a basic level, yet so much complexity goes into the art of photography.

Imaginative Bridges in Photography

In drawing meaningful analogies between photography, my attention was drawn to the flash. What was interesting about the flash to me was its ability to draw out details. I found the flash analagous to the attention that educators pay to the student in the class. As I learned in the reading, the flash should be used in the day light to bring out the details. In the classroom, it is important to questions to engage the audience to see what they are thinking, and if they are truly understanding the content. Sometimes students are good at pretending that the are following you. Nobody wants to be exposed, so its good to turn on your imaginitive flash in the classroom.
