Teachers get hands-on experiences with the art form of photography by viewing and discussing a variety of photographs and learning about the photographic techniques of composition, angle and light. They learn about the power and importance of the visual image to persuade, tell a story, inform, record and express, and how these relate to history, culture, world and personal events. They take photographs using digital cameras, view and discuss their photographs. The art form for this workshop is photo montage, and the literary work is either a poem or narrative that accompanies the visual art work. Teachers discuss how they can integrate this learning activity into the curriculum and implement it in their classrooms.
