November Learning: Expanding the Boundaries of Learning

Paint the World in a Different Light – Boston City Night Photo Safari

Julia Leong, Teacher Professional Development Consultant, Technology Integration, Vancouver, BC
Dan November, Marblehead, MA

Bring your digital camera and join us for an evening walking tour of downtown Boston, where we will explore night photography and change the way you view Boston Harbor.

We will explore global projects that  engage students to paint their cities, homes, and themselves in different lights. We will investigate ways to depict stereotypes, such as inner city locations, in inspiring ways.

Bring a digital camera (preferably an SLR or pocket camera that has AV, TV, S, or A settings), a tripod (if you have one), and the connection cord to download your photos to a computer. We will be going on a photo safari around downtown Boston, investigating the ways we frame our photos (what we focus on, what we edit out) as a starting point for reflective practice, as well as for writing, art, and critical thinking in the classroom. We will investigate possibilities of night photography and painting with light to ignite imagination.
