Short Summary

Just looking at the world that surrounds us, we can see that, whether we like it or not, images are more and more present in our daily lives. And this happens so frequently, so fast and so extensively that they take over and reduce any other type of communication. We are getting so overloaded with images that we can hardly process what they mean.

Basically, the Word image is usually connected to art, creativity, learning… But images are much more than that. Through them we can penetrate, among others, in the ethical, spiritual, historical and social dimensions of human.

Description of challenges faced (Are there any difficulties teachers/learners might face?)

This practice is designed for teachers who are interested in developing this practice inside the classroom. It main goal is that the students learn how to think by means of a systematic learning routine: watch, describe, explain, discover, create, etc. It is being used in Computer Science classes in 4th year of secondary school. 

Due to its contents, it is easily adaptable, partially or totally, to the last four years of primary school, Bachillerato and to all those contexts where the image plays an important role.

By means of watching images and videos, ok taking photos and of editing their own images, the student: analyzes, decides, compares, cooperates, respects, …values that will undoubtedly be of great help in all aspects of their daily life.

At the same time the student will get the goals with which they challenged themselves. This way, they somehow create their own learning plan and can see the result at the end: a change of the composition in one of the photographs that they took with their camera.

It is integrated in an e-Learnig “Moodle” Platform. http://www.campusvertical.es/moodle/enrol/index.php?id=6 Spanish). You can have access as a guest with the password “invitados”.

Detailed description

First session:

  • By watching images and by getting particular questions we can analyze what can and what cannot be seen.
  • Video about the composition of an image: parts. Centre of interest. Center of attention. Historical, social and ethical dimensions. Transmission of feelings and emotions.
  • Once the video is over, each student has to find on the Internet three images where they can apply all the above, and will project, making comments, some of them.

Second session:

  • By viewing   three short videos, the technical dimension of an image is analyzed:
  • Composition. Frame. Background. Perspective. Lines. Contrast. Shots…
  • Every student in the classroom trains with their camera. We project the images and analyze them.

Third session:

  • Every student picks up one photo out of those ones taken the day before and by getting little help from a tutorial, will edit the image and will do a new composition of the parts getting both a centre of interest and a center of attention. Then, the results will be corroborated and a discussion about them will take place.
