A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!

Homework- the students are to take the idea that a picture speaks louder than words. Using a digital camera or appropriate web searching (via creative commons), take or research images that embody 5 different emotions - look for images that do this not just in the face but in the body as well. Load these on the class website and whenever possible, take a picture of themself 'kinesically' portraying these same 5 emotions. We will use them in class for a guessing game review.

--

Everyone, post on the blog with your first name, last initial and PHOTO ASSIGNMENT (all in the title)

Then follow it up with the 5 pictures you gathered,what emotions they denote and why (you can refer to the sheet we gave out in class or create your own ideas).  Then post 5 pictures of you creating those 5 same emotions.  You can either immitate your original images or you can just take the idea and make it your own. 

When gathering images, you need to make sure you are allowed to.  Go to creative commons to search, not just google straight off.  You can bypass all copyright laws by taking the images yourself. 

Once you have done this, respond to at least 3 of your peers.  Be respectful.  Remember CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.  Share what you like and what you agree with.  What would you change or would you keep it the same?  Do you like it?  Why?

Most importantly, HAVE FUN!  We will use the images you post for a review later on.

EXAMPLE:

  

The first image is my daughter and she is 'happy'.  Her eyes are smiling, her mouth is smiling, her body is opened up and head is up.  The second is a picture of my husband and I.  We are happy as well.  Eyes are open, eyebrows upturned, mouth smiling, showing teeth (me).
