4. As artists, we are ready to GO DEEPER.
For the past couple of months, you have
learned all about the technical and aesthetic
aspects of photography. Art is MORE than
that. It’s about communicating ideas and
telling stories.
You will see how the artists featured at the
Addison Gallery do that, and you will do it
too.
5. What do we
consider “home”?
Is home a place?
Is home where you
live now or where
you are from?
Is home a person
or group of people?
Can we feel at
home no matter
where we are?
6. What spaces in our homes are special,
meaningful, bring us peace- our OURS?
or
What spaces in our homes are sad, scary,
lonely, bring us challenges?
7. How can one’s home
shape one’s identity?
Of course, we’ll be doing this
through photography.
8. In class today, you’ll be using the chrome
books to complete a WebQuest (a guided
internet search) to explore how other
