Domestic Photography and Digital Technology
Darren Newbury (p. 80) in his chapter, in Richard Hickson’s book ‘Art Education 11-18′, looks at some ways of putting new technologies into good use. He examines the idea of the self-portrait, getting students to include images of themselves, and some written narrative; describing a few things about themsleves. They then post all this on a web-site.
I like the idea, the students can explore ideas of self-image, though as a teacher I would want to monitor the sorts of things posted and only have a closed web-site. Not one open to the public, or even so much the rest of the school. But interesting idea!
