Lesson Planning
Take a fieldtrip to a local geographic feature and explore the geological and aesthetic beauty of it through your own photographic shots. Develop your own ideas of how to exhibit your photographs in order to create a complementary exhibition to your Grand Canyon exhibit.
Teaching Outcomes:
- To identify geographic features from photographs.
- To create a mixed media piece of art that highlights contrasting local geographic features.
Children will:
- Visit a local natural feature and take a range of geographic photographs and make sketches
- Identify geographic features from the photographs they have taken
- Create a mixed media (photography and drawing/painting) piece of art that highlights contrasting local geographic features
