F+L+O+A+T



==We are going to participate in an international art project for photography students. It is called F L O A T. It celebrates the art of Magic Realism. Float! is a collaborative project for students. The lesson is deliberately open to interpretation and variation to accommodate various photography and art curriculums. This project was inspired by Philippe Halsman’s Jumpology series. ==

Focus On Your Community
===In the creative process we all learn from each other. This project will give students the opportunity to find their own creative solutions to an open-ended challenge, and see how others have responded as well. ===
 * Show how you can turn where you live into someplace magical.
 * Shoot outdoors on a sunny day.
 * Use a high shutter speed (above 1/350)
 * Shoot in burst mode.

 Click on some of the links here to get a better understanding of what this project is about. Use Diigo to text code the images and articles you read. Put stickies on the images you especially love and comment on why and what stands out with those. Save your stickies to the Digital Photography Group and organize in a list called FLOAT. Make sure to highlight any text you find that helps your understanding of this project.

The Analysis questions are: What is Magic Realism? What is burst mode in photography and how does one freeze action in photography?

C: Connections to your own work and your own experiences. What does it remind you of?

===<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students created 2 final images that were not altered in Photoshop except for lighting and general editing. They also created 2 finals that were "magic" because they were altered and put together using Photoshop.The images here represent a sample of some of the better images! ===
