Mosaic Magic

This project was purely inspired by the students! It was something they wanted to try, so we gave it our best shot. The mosaics turned out beautifully! Each portrait of our class is made up of smaller photo tiles. These photo tiles vary from project to project. Some people chose to take photos of friends, while others chose to take photos of sports equipment, drum sets, and even themselves. If you click on the photos below to make them larger, you can zoom in to see the smaller tiles. This is a great idea, and I will definitely be using it with my classes in future years! Great job, Digi kids!

Kaleidoscopes: You Look Marvelous, My Dear!

As promised, the 7th Grade Digi Photo Kaleidoscopes have arrived! Look at the beautiful work created by our students!

We toured the campus to get close-up shots of leaves, flowers, grasses, etc. as a continuation of our study of macro photography. We focused on color, lighting, and composition. After selecting their favorite shots, students cropped a tile from the original photo and duplicated it, rotated it, and flipped it to create an abstracted kaleidoscope image.

We will hang these projects on the 2nd floor of the Middle School, so please stop by when you can to see these marvelous prints in person! They are stunning and the students are extremely proud of their work.
