«Certains objets du quotidien, qui peuvent nous sembler banals, nous révèlent parfois des détails originaux et fantaisistes. Toutefois, il faut être attentif et surtout de bons observateurs pour les remarquer. Pour l’artiste Éric Daudelin, l’art est partout. Fasciné par l’architecture, il a créé des mosaïques avec une série de photographies d’éléments urbains : des portes. Avec les œuvres Courtepointe rouge et Courtepointe verte, il réussit à magnifier ces portes d’entrée regroupées par couleur et nous permet de découvrir tous ces détails qui distinguent chacune d’entre elles et qui les rendent uniques. Après avoir observé les œuvres de l’artiste Éric Daudelin, les élèves expérimenteront le collage et le dessin en créant une porte derrière laquelle se cache leur famille.»

When students create digitally, that doesn't mean they can't interact face to face. The digital gallery walk blends digital and face-to-face learning.
Here's how it works:
1. Students create a digital artifact of their learning.
2. When everyone is finished, students display their work on their screens.
3. Students stand up and leave their devices on their desks.
4. They circulate the room, stopping at their peers’ desks (and devices) to check out their work.
(This could be applied to professional learning as well)
It's that simple. Check out this post for more details!
Photography, as a nonverbal language, allows students to increase their visual perception and provides a medium for creative expression. The history of photography will be evaluated in the context of historical, social, cultural and artistic developments. Students learn to understand the artistic qualities of the photographic medium while acquiring the techniques for utilizing photography for expressive purposes. Instruction includes studio and field techniques, photojournalism, fashion photography, and commercial, portrait, scientific, nature, wildlife and sports photography. In producing their own works and by studying the photographs of others, students will develop a base for making informed aesthetic judgments. Integrated throughout the course are career preparation standards which include basic academic skills, communication, interpersonal skills, problem solving, workplace safety, and technology and employment literacy.
