The Y1-2 children are currently exploring how art has evolved throughout history, from cave paintings to the printing press and now digital media. They began their journey by delving into the world of cave paintings, studying images and creating their own cave paintings on tin foil.
This week, the focus shifted to the significant changes brought about by the invention of the camera. The camera has revolutionized various aspects of human life, including the way we capture and preserve memories, document events, and communicate visually. The students had the opportunity to explore photography pictures and express their emotions and thoughts about them. They then selected a photograph they particularly liked and practiced their observation skills by drawing it.
Next week, the project will be further developed as the children learn how to use a camera. They will also have the chance to photograph different objects, adding another layer to their artistic exploration.
