Lesson Overview: Students create pinhole cameras to learn how artists manipulate light to make photographs. They describe the lines and shapes in a nineteenth-century photograph of a building and then use their pinhole cameras to trace the architecture of their school building.Ĭapturing Light: The Science of Photography (Intermediate Level) Lesson Overview: Students create pinhole cameras to understand that light travels in a straight path. Students closely observe winged insects and create detailed drawings of wings.Ĭapturing Light: The Science of Photography (Beginning Level) They research winged insects, identifying unique characteristics and those common to all insects. Lesson Overview: Students study insects depicted in a seventeenth-centuryĭrawing. Insect Anatomy and the Scientist as Illustrator (Advanced Level) Students research and draw insects, incorporating a variety of lines and shapes and using value to depict three-dimensionality. They identify characteristics common to all insects and those unique to particular species. Lesson Overview: Students observe and study insects depicted in a seventeenth-century drawing. Insect Anatomy and the Scientist as Illustrator (Intermediate Level) They collect and draw live insects, incorporating a variety of shapes and lines. They identify the three characteristics of an adult insect: a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), six legs, and antennae.
