I believe what distinguish photography from the
other art mediums is its easy access and simple operation. Anyone can take a
photo by one click on the shutter or using their phone. It is versatile and
allow opportunities to explore without worrying about learning the techniques and creating "realistic" art.
Photography is an excellent starting point for students
who are afraid to draw or paint. Instead of an observational drawing/painting lesson
of nature, by using digital cameras students will first learn to create composition
through the lens. They will experience with observing the big picture first and
then making the decisions to choose which part of their vision that they are
most keen to explore.
Photography is interesting because it exists both
digitally and physically. Students will broaden their art experience by understanding
that the same subject/theme could be presented in multiple ways such as slide
show, video, installation, and prints. Furthermore, these different
presentations could be combined and constructed together to address more complex
issues.
Photography can be manipulated by hand.
Students can alter a photo through computer software or, they can print out the
photos and perform physical manipulation such as drawing, cutting, painting,
folding, thereby creating mixed-media art! Photography for art educator serves
as a good fundamental medium to introduce art to those who are afraid to make
art.
a lot of your entries are thorough and thoughtful and that's great to see.
