In small groups, collaboratively brainstorm a stop motion animation idea and materials (modeling clay, chalk, paper, scissors, pencils, toys, stuffed animals, legos, push pins, markers, cardboard, fruit, silverware, paper clips, ornaments, jewelry, etc).4. In small groups, collect still images using iPads, if available, and/or digital cameras. 5. In small groups, create and edit your video using Stop Motion Studio app, if iPads are available. 6.

iPad Project 2: PSU Perspective WebQuestFor the past three years, my Seventh Grade Art and Art I (ninth grade) classes used iPads in order to complete WebQuests designed by Dr. Karen Keifer-Boyd and Yenju Lin's Penn State, University Park A ED 322: Visual Culture & Educational Technologies course. Seventh Grade Art: Photography Lessonhttp://laurelrkissinger.wix.com/perspective

TASK #1: Forced PerspectiveWith your partner, create at least two images using FORCED PERSPECTIVE! Forced perspective is a photographic illusion generally used to make two or more objects seem to be a different size than their actual size.  You will be creating photographs that ENLARGE, EXTEND, or TRANSFORM space. Project Steps:BE INSPIREDBRAINSTORMCOLLECTPHOTOGRAPHDISCUSSPOST

TASK #2: Personal perspectiveYou will be asking your partner questions assigned to your group and having a discussion. Based on your differentiating perspectives of the questions, you will be creating at least two photographs. One photograph will represent one partner's perspective, while the second photograph will represent the other partner's perspective. This is a little bit more tricky than the first task! Project Steps:ASK AND DISCUSS BE INSPIREDBRAINSTORMCOLLECTPHOTOGRAPHANALYZEPOST
