Final Project/ Class Review

This post covers last week as well. All material was placed in the Capzle.

As part of my project, my 7th graders will be creating inspirational posters for the hallways at school. We will take pictures and edit in Lightroom before choosing the ones that work best for what they want to communicate. Additionally, the 8th graders will be creating a “Welcome to Milton Middle School” video for the incoming 6th graders that will be distributed to the feeder schools. The goal is to help the students feel more comfortable with their soon-to-be new environment by walking them through the hallways and meeting their future teachers.

Well, spring break was less than "springy" and I enjoyed my recliner the whole week. So, I waited until I returned to school and went with Holy Week theme. I had some of my students do some drawings to commemerate the events surronding what I believe is the life changing/saving events of the death,ressurection of Jesus Christ.

Nostalgia from Tanya Hill on Vimeo.

This weeks assignment was nostalgia. Nothing in my memory, or present for that matter, means as much to me as my church/church family. You see,from infancy on, my mother took me to church. Our lives were centered around family and church. Since most of my family went to my church that made this "bond" even stronger. I can remember all the people who have gone on and the lasting impressions they have left on my life. Their constant love for, and faithfulness to the church showed me how exciting serving God and others can be. I have my tried to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before me. It is my desire to share that same love with the those around me now and in the future. Using the bosses camera, because mine is broke, kept me very flustered. So a few clips are blurry before I realized the auto focus was on. I guess it is a good learning tool to see the difference in manual and auto focus in movie mode. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!

This is after editing.  I added a small vignette and tweaked the colors and exposure.

This is before lightroom editing.

 

 All of these pictures are the first attempts at light painting.  Really cool, but need a lot of work.
