1, 2, 3 Photography! Digital Cameras Needed for Art Students

My students need 9 digital cameras, memory cards and batteries to take photographs, download and edit images for art class. We have no digital cameras in our art room. We need them very, very much.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. HARDESTY's classroom raised $384

My Students

Do you remember what it was like the first time you took a photograph? It filled you with pride and wonder. That is what I would like for my art students.

My art students are wonderful.

They are excited about learning and love to create. They amaze me every day with their creativity. My students are a great group of children that want to learn about photography. I teach art to kindergarten through fifth grade students. My little artists include special needs students and ESOL students. The theme for the photographs will be "People and Nature". Last year we learned about some photography basics and this year is the year students will learn photography the best way by doing it themselves with a real camera in their hand. Seeing the world through a camera gives students a new point of view. They will learn to see like an artist and see beauty in the most ordinary things. Our theme "People and Nature" will focus on choices we have every day to make the world a better place for people and nature. From recycling, composting to using a re-usable bottle instead of a plastic one use bottle. Photos will impact our school and community.

My Project

Students will learn about lighting, cropping, scenic photography, portrait photography, black and white photography and other aspects of photography. They'll see first hand how a digital story differs from printed photography. They will see the dramatic impact black and white photography has and the "wow factor" of color photography. They will learn how to altar a photograph digitally and learn how to appreciate a photo with little or no altering. The digital cameras require batteries. I am requesting rechargeable batteries and an SD card. These valued cameras will be cared for and students will share them. This project will be ongoing and continue throughout the year.

As the school art teacher, I get to share amazing art projects with my creative, ambitious and active students.

I teach all K-5 students at my school. Your donation will make this photography project possible, not just for this school year, but for school years to come. Hundreds of students will benefit from your kindness. I believe these digital cameras will help make the subject of caring for our environment come to life. Thank you
