Africa and Mural Project

 This powerpoint was very interesting because it shows many kinds of the animals in Africa and how they interact. I am always interested in how everything works there such as which animals hang around with the others.

Favorite Photo:

3. Describe it and tell me why its your favorite: This photo shows many zebras and maybe some other animals that are crossing a river.I think it is my favorite because I have never seen this many zebras together at once.

4. What rules of photography are evident in the photos you selected, be sure to explain the rule to me? I think Rule of Thirds was applied here.

4. Look up the photographer on Google –

a.     What kind of camera did he use? He uses a high end camera with Nikon lenses.

b.     What is his reason for taking the photos? He is also into art/painting so he thinks photography is an art.

c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos? He wants people to see the animals from Africa before they fall into the hands of man.

d.     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog. "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close"

Murals

1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school? We would probably have a "think about your future" theme to encourage kids to do better in school.

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones? They should open it up for everyone.

3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus? We could probably put the mural near where the bus loop is so they can see it every day for the people that ride the bus which is most people here at school.
