HP Photo Products to Help Nurture the Next Ansel Adams
My students need a HP Digital Camera, 2 boxes of HP Advanced Photopaper, HP Secure Digital Card flash memory card, an HP Inkjet Print Cartridge and a HP Photosmart Printer.
I teach 1st grade in rural Northern California. I teacher 21 wonderful students. I work in a small, one school district that houses 550 students. We are small and resources are limited because of our size.
Over the years I have taught photography to my students. I have done different things with photography with the kids over the years. One year each students took pictures of items that represented perspective. Another year I had the kids take pictures of the oak tree on our campus, focusing the changes in the tree each season. Each year at our school-wide art show, the photos that the students take are one of the highlights of the show. I have parents still comment on the photos their child has taken years later. I have always used my own camera to work on this project. My camera is getting old and doesn't have much memory. When I need to print, I have to take it to the local store to develop the pictures which can take a a day or two complete.
I would like to have a HP camera, HP printer, HP paper, HP memory card and a HP ink cartridge to do my annual photography unit. This year I would like to focus on black and white photography. The students will actually handle the camera and take pictures of their subject. Once the photos are taken, the students will be able to immediately print the pictures on the photo paper. There is nothing like getting immediate feedback on your work! The extra memory card, ink and paper will be used once the original materials run out.
You will be getting quality materials into the hands of my students. My kids have always loved this project. They love to handle the camera and see their work on the photo paper. They are so proud when their parents see their finished project.
