The high school class that I am working with as my focus
group, really enjoys photography. They like photography because they respond to
it better then a painting or drawing. During my last VTS with a photograph, my
students participated and were fascinated by what the artist presented. I think
my students are very connected with photography because of the technological
society they live in. With photo Apps like Instagram and SnapChat, they are
interested in what an image might say to them. That is why I picked a
photography image for them to VTS.
I believe that this image has many layers that my students
can look at and think about what they might be viewing. This image presents
many different pieces of evidence that they can present to rectify their
opinions.
I love these images, Molly! I particularly like the second image because of the juxtaposition between the eerie faces of the mannequins with the calm coolness of the male figure. The difference in emotion from the left side of the image to the right fills the scene with expressive content. I completely agree that high school students would feel more of a connection to photographic images because of the technology that surrounds them on a daily basis. I think they would find these images more accessible for interpretation than my 4th graders because of these reasons.
