Advanced Digital Photography (11th-12th Grades) Hockney Photographic Collage:
The students in this class already knew how to take a photo, they covered that in their intro photography class, so I really wanted to do something that showed them what else they can do with photography as an artistic medium. I decided to do a David Hockney inspired photographic collage.
We talked about Hockney’s work, and how it was inspired by analytic cubism. We compared and contrasted some of Picasso’s paintings to Hockney’s photo-collages, they students got a real kick out of talking about painting in a photo class! Once we did that I gave the students their assignment: Pick an interesting person, object, or place, and take photos!!! I showed them how to imagine a grid over their scene, and how each section of the grid becomes one photograph. I asked them to take at least 25 pictures each.
When they came back to class the next week, I showed them how to use photoshop to import, manipulate, and arrange their photo-collages. They picked up on it right away, and the work they produced was beautiful! Unfortunately I can’t post the portraits online for obvious reasons, but believe me they are beautiful! Attached to this post are some examples of the students work.

New York City imposes new social media rules for teachers

On Monday, the New York City Department of Education published its first set of guidelines for the use of social media, underscoring the importance for teachers and staff to keep a clear distinction between the use of their personal and professional accounts.
“In an increasingly digital world, we seek to provide our students with the opportunities that multi-media learning can provide—which is why we should allow and encourage the appropriate and accepted use of these powerful resources,” schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said in an e-mail to principals, according to the Journal.
Mainly, teachers are expected to use common sense: inappropriate offline behavior would also be inappropriate online. However, teachers are being told that their interactions with students on professional social networking services will be monitored and that there is “no expectation of privacy,” and that administrators and officials should have access to the professional accounts.
