LESSON OUTLINE
Introduction
Presenting a short list of examples of close up (face) style portraits and documenting their reflections,
thoughts and opinions in their visual diaries - 2x lessons
Taking photos of themselves or friends using their ipads - presenting them in their visual diaries and
recording their thoughts - 2x lessons
Presenting a short list of examples of close up (face) style portraits and documenting their reflections in
their visual diaries
Students will be asked to find photographs of faces (portrait style) using internet sources (google
image search) or cutting out of magazine (make up advertisements). Once students have collected no fewer
then six different images, they are to paste them in their visual diaries accompanied by their own thoughts
and opinions about how they see the differences in the images as the viewer. What is the most aesthetically
pleasing? How so?
Taking photos of themselves or friends using their ipads - presenting them in their visual diaries and
recording their thoughts.
Now that the students know what they like in a portrait (positions, distance from the camera, lighting,
etc) they are to take a series of photos themselves using their ipads, and paste them in their log books. As
with the first task, the students will be expected to record in writing which photographs they prefer/reject, their
favorite, etc.
harmony, and colour context. The task will consist of students filling their own task sheet by mixing their own
paint.
Teaching strategies:
I plan to scaffold learning by demonstrating how to do each task step by step and only move on to the next
component of the unit when the whole class is ready. This will hopefully keep the whole class at similar
stages in terms of progress.
Resources Needed:
Ipads, computers, printers, light/tracing box, paint, paintbrushes
