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 on a walking tour of downtown Boston to explore night photography and to change the way you view Boston Harbor.

We will explore global projects engaging students to paint their city, home and themselves in a different light. 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 at night and will look at ways to investigate the ways we frame our photos (what we focus on, what we edit out) as a starting point for reflective practice, for writing, art and critical thinking in the classroom. We will investigate possibilities of night photography and painting with light to ignite imagination.
