On November 6th 2012 Shannon and Sara taught their lesson on Environment. We received an e-mail from Shannon asking us to bring in five objects within our environment. At least one natural and one fabricated. We also were asked to bring in our cameras. I thought it was great that we got the chance to bring in our own objects. It made the project more personalized, and it was exciting (kind of like a show and tell). It encouraged the students to look around at what others brought in and interact with their peers. Shannon and Sara reviewed the slideshow of artist we had talked about earlier as well as some of the concepts we had learned. I am very interested in the artist Andy Goldsworthy who creates earth art. I’m glad that during these lessons we are getting the chance to learn about contemporary artists. One thing I need to work on is gathering the names and artworks of artists who interest me; this will be extremely helpful in the future. The artist Banksy interests me; I like how he brings art to urban areas. I also enjoyed the artwork of Alexa Meade who used a contrast between the medium of paint and photography. Shannon and Sara discussed how a composition can be dynamic or it could be static. They both explained these concepts accurately and allowed students to add their input. We were asked to take photographs of both a dynamic and static composition. Shannon came around and asked me if my composition was static or dynamic and asked me why I thought so. I like that she was following up with students to check for understanding. The teacher examples were great! They looked very professional. Shannon and Sara seemed to cover all aspects of the lesson, and they showed different viewpoints of their topic.
Static
Dynamic
