[Teacher Page] IntroductionIn this modern day of technology, there are so many different types of cameras and film to photograph with. With the dawn of the digital age, the art of photography is stepping out the back door. Everyone with a digital camera now thinks that they can take a snapshot of a flower, Photoshop it, and call it art.

You, however think differently (or at least you did before the amnesia!). You are a camera with amnesia trying to find your identity. What are you? When were you invented? By whom? What is significant about you? Are you still around today (if you’re not, make an argument why you should be)?

Your goal as a groups is to determine how the camera has changed from its original invention. What modifications and adaptations have been made to it? What role has technology played?

It is your job to persuade the public’s opinion! Photography is an art that has developed throughout the ages. As part of your persuasion techniques, you will:

Create a visual representation of the different types of images each camera can produce through the use of a PowerPoint presentation

Make a timeline of events in Excel of when each camera was invented and the events and reasons leading up to the inventions (newer technology, need for smaller film, etc.)

With Publisher, produce a brochure on each of the different cameras

Type a brief (one page) response in Word as to why you as a camera are the best invention (or the worst)

All of your research will be done using the internet and your final products should all be completed on the computer.

After completing this assignment, are you able to persuade the world? Are you persuaded yourself? Do you think that just anyone can take artistically beautiful photographs, or does a lot more work go into a photograph than just a snap of a button?

This is designed for a high school level beginning photography class, but I am sure it could be used in the Junior High level as well.

The only skills necessary for this type of a lesson are computer skills, as this is a technology-integrated lesson.
