Creative Photography Week 3

My assignment last week was "Narrative".  I found a note I had scribbled to myself that said Little Gingerbread Man.  Luckily, I have access to a stuffed fox so that came in handy.  I baked gingerbread for the first time and altered the shape of the cookies as well as the decoration with royal icing to help tell the story.  I just have a few days left in this class!  It has been frustrating at times but I've mostly enjoyed it.  Our final assignment is a self-directed body of work.  I chose to work on photographing flowers at night.  I just have to narrow it down to 20 photos to turn in then I'll put the link here in case anyone is interested.  If you're not interested in photography, never fear!  I have more lessons and ideas to blog about and should have more time in July to get caught up from the school year.

Creative Photography

I'm starting to work on my master's degree through the University of Nebraska at Kearney.  They have an all online Master's in Art Education program!  I was really excited when I read through the required courses, I could see myself using every sing one of them.  After that, there was no way I could do curriculum and instruction.

I'm enrolled in Creative Photography for the month of June. It has sometimes been a struggle to find time with a 6 month old, but I'm making it work!  I have to give myself little pep talks like I do with my students. 

Inner Monologue:

This is hard.

Duh.

That doesn't mean you can't do it! 

Anyway, thought I would share some of the photos from my first assignment which was about aperture and self portraits.
