Mural Project and Great Black and White Photographers Part III

1. What theme, that we could take here at school, could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?
A theme that is already existing in this school is "Stand Up Bowie". It would be a good idea because we need to control bullying in school.

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?
We should use both because we could have a larger variety of pictures spreading the theme faster and making it popular.

3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?
I would put the mural in the front of the school because everyone would walk into school and look at the mural.


1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? The first thing to catch my eye was the lines in the sand from the winds in the desert. I picked this photo because I liked how the lines went with the black and white photo.

2.)  Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. 

I see grainy sand flying around me. There are lines of sand going on for miles. There are large mountains in the background. There are dunes approaching with each step.

I smell dirty sand. There is a smell of dryness in the air that is detectable. There is the hope for a smell of water.

I hear wind blowing. Is has a sharp whistle to it. I hear the crush of the sand beneath my feet.

I taste dry air. every breath makes me thirsty wanting to take another sip from my canteen.

I feel coarse sand running against my skin. I shake it off only for more to pile on. A never ending cycle continues until I am out of the desert.


3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school.
I would Like to show the world my photographer by creating a powerpoint. It would be an effective and simple wasy to present and create a powerpoint about my photographer.

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? The first thing that caught my eye was the center of the lettuce head. The reason I picked this photo is because it looks like a ongoing pattern of just getting smaller and smaller.
2.)  Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos.I see an ongoing pattern of shrinking lettuce. It looks like an illusion waiting to happen. I see layers and layers or lettuce waiting to be consumed. I smell dirty vegetable fresh out of the ground. It looks like it is needing a good scrub to be ready to be sold. I hear running water from other heads being washed preparing to be sold to the stores. I hear lettuce squeaking as it is being washed. I hear the commotion of farmers talking about how much they need and by when.I taste the crunch of leaves of freshly washed lettuce. I taste the flavors of ranch and tomatoes in a salad with my meal. I taste the watery crunch of each bite.I feel the rough head of lettuce being bought at the grocery store. I feel each vain in the leafs. I feel the water from the machines at the store spraying the vegetables with water.
