Funded Oct 12, 2022The additional resources from this project allowed my students to really dig into macro photography! With the reversing rings, we were able to create some amazing art that focused on macro photography. Students did a cupcake collage that involved some amazing images of the minuscule sprinkles and we did three-panel collages that demonstrated the limits of a standard lens and the possibilities of a macro setup.
My students were very excited when the Amazon boxes started showing up and we began updating our camera totes with the additional equipment right aways! The reversing rings came in first and were put to use within a few days. The telephoto lenses arrived a little past our chance to do our wildlife photography, but my new students this semester are eager to put them to use in April when we go looking for the animals this Spring!
As part of my program, I get to submit ten photographs each year for our annual Youth Art Month at our city museum, and 2 of my 10 submissions used the equipment from this project! I have semester classes and I'm so excited to be able to include these resources in my regular activity planning from now on!”
With gratitude,
