Photography - Back in the darkroom
This is the first week of Summer Session II and the start to my photography 2 class. It's been like over 6 years since I've been in the dark room. I had taken photography 1, 2 and advanced darkroom at Queensborough as electives towards my AA degree. Unfortunatly they didn't transfer over as matching credited courses >_<. So I have to retake photo 2. For our first assignment, we made pin-hole camera neg/prints made from old photo paper boxes. It was oky.
I don't know how I'm liking the class or not. It's a mixed class, meaning it's mostly photography 1 students with a few 2 and 3's. It's great to be back in the darkroom I missed it lots. I also signed up to be a lab monitor so I have access when I need it (which is a great thing cause the class is quite crowded).
This time round I'm using a fully manual SLR (thankees Donald for letting me borrow it). My other SLR is a Minolta Maxxum, which has auto settings along with Manual, shutter priority and aperture priority, which I tended to use way too much ;).

My First Work Sheets.
One of the assignments for my Development of Language and Literacy class, is to write a Authors Study paper based on a children book author and then create two work stations with activities that focus on word study and comprehension. Below are two work sheets I made based on the book Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth.

Template for Pop Up Book
In class today, my Professor asked me to create a "pop up book page" for the class to see. She gave me a hand out with a basic overview on how to make the page.
On my way home from class I was brainstorming ideas and came up with a simple panda in a tree and pop up panda and baby. Since this is for a language development class I added some lines for a student to make up a story of what is going on in the picture.

Almost complete. I didn't know I had construction paper, so I started re-doing it collage style.
- Fold a piece of paper.
- Cut a "tab" in the middle on the fold.
- Fold "tab" in opposite direction
- Glue on tab a character.
