Introducción/ Calentamiento
- Begin by asking students to describe their experiences using a camera.
- Introduce the image of flight research #5. Ask students to describe what they see when looking at this photograph. Share the title of the photograph with the students. Why do you think it is called flight research #5? What title would they give it?
- Tell the students they are going to use a camera to take pictures of their friends moving in different ways. Brainstorm a list of ways the students can move (ex. jump, twirl, hop, skip, crawl, roll, etc.). Tell them they will work in small groups to photograph each other moving creatively.
- Model how to use the camera safely, and demonstrate taking photographs of a child or adult moving creatively.
- Divide students into small groups to begin taking photographs.
Procedimiento de la actividad de enfoque
- Each small group (3–4 students) should have a camera and an adult supervising them.
- Students should decide who is going to move first and who is going to take photographs. The adult supervising the small group should ensure each child has a turn to be the photographer and the subject moving. If desired, the teacher can provide props or dress-up clothes for the students to use while engaging in movement.
Cerrar
- Gather the class for the closing routine, and project the photographs onto a SMARTboard or laptop for the students to view. Have students describe what movements are depicted.
- Ask students to compare and contrast their photographs with flight research #5.
- Pide a los alumnos que busquen el arte a su alrededor en casa y en la escuela.
