+ | With the question "How do we choose our food products in the shop?" we talk about the hidden powers of advertising and packaging. After ashort discussion i offer everyone a candy. We agree to eat it in te silence to experiment if this way it will taste even better. When the sweets are gone i ask again "so what do we do with the wrapping?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | For this activity you will need: | ||
+ | -a small sheet (max 15x15cm)of transparent plastic per kid (i collect it from flower wrappings) | ||
+ | -colourful scraps from candy wrapping, fruit nets... | ||
+ | -scissors | ||
+ | -glue | ||
+ | -elastic band | ||
+ | -camera | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cut the scraps in small pieces. As smaller the pieces are, as more beautiful result will be. | ||
+ | Glue a mix of small scraps onto the transparent film leaving at least one third of it __not covered__. | ||
+ | Choose a well lit area in the room with a plain background for the photoshoot. Set your camera onto manual focus. With the help of elastic attache the freshly made lens covers onto the lens.Adjust the focus manually on the object you want to photograph. Experiment by turning the filter or moving to a different position. I like taking portraits this way as it makes children more relaxed when they know they will almost wont be recognisable. | ||

- | Colages | + | As a preparation for this activity i think of making something colourful with many small details. |
+ | I like working with dough. For example it can be a small rough dough " | ||
+ | When that is doen display all works next to each other on a table without leaving any space in between.Try to mix all the colours as much as possible. Set the camera on manual and choose a long exposure time. Anything from a few seconds will work. If the room is to light (put you aperture to a smalles opening). Take pictures by experimenting on focusing on one part of colourful cookies and moving towards something els in the room. This activity takes time as each child should have enough time to understand how it works and experiment with the camera. | ||

+ | Collages | ||
+ | |||
+ | During the trajectory we make many pictures. As i mostly work with your teenagers they are not so keen to be photographed them self. I like working with portraits, so i came up with an idea of making a colages from taken portraits and some other visual work that we make during our activities. I call it a spaghetti collage. | ||
+ | Print out two photos per child (one portrait and one something els) in the same format (A4 works fine). If you have a spaghetti maker rut the folded photos through it.(if you don't have it it can be cut by scissors). Take a larger sheet of paper (i usually use paper placemats) and let children to assemble a new image from cut pieces. To make works more fun i prepare a few small plates filled with edible colours and a few glasses or cups. The children dip chosen object into the colour and place it on the collage for different rings to appear. | ||
