Grade 3: Images of Respect

Here is a video slideshow of the photographs grade 3 took and edited during our most recent unit. The students reflected and shared on the meaning of respect as a class and as individuals.  We explored specific ways an artist can ensure a good photograph (such as background, cropping, and view point).  They practiced their photography skills in groups then each planned and directed their own photograph depicting an element of respect that was important to them in particular. The images were shared at the ES Assembly on Friday this week.  We're also working on making wire and clay photo frame holders to display our images. Enjoy the images, and may they inspire you to reflect on your meaning of respect and how you show that in a photograph!
