If you're a teacher or parent, you may be interested in creating some fun
digital photography related projects for children.
I sometimes plan fun and interesting photo projects for my son so that he
can learn about photography and have a whale of a time too.
In this article, we'll explore 3 interesting photo project ideas we can
prepare for children, so read on!
Idea 1: Make a Photo Journal
One
interesting photo project is to let the child create a personal photo
journal. Ask the child to hang on to the digital camera for a few days,
snapping anything that captures his or her fancy.
At
the end of that period, help him or her to upload the pictures to a
computer, then add some good captions or funny quotes. A simple, easy
activity to do, which is also rewarding for the family too.
You
can use a program like Microsoft Powerpoint to maintain the photo album or
print the pictures and bind them into a hardcover book.
Idea 2: Create a Nice
Jigsaw Puzzle
Here's a good project to undertake if your child likes jigsaw puzzles. Print
out a nice, large format picture, then stick it onto a large cardboard.
Next, cut up the cardboard into small curved pieces anf voila, we have a
homemade jigsaw puzzle.
Another way to do this is to use a cool software I found called
Brainsbreaker. This program allows you to turn any digital photo into a
jigsaw puzzel which you can solve on the computer. Neat, huh?
Idea 3: What Could
This Be?
Another interesting photo
project is to snap a picture of a common, everyday object - using a very odd
angle or close-up view.
Entrust the digital
camera to the kids, then ask them to sniff out ordinary objects to take
photos of. Ask them to take the photos at weird, unusual, and otherworldly
angles.
When they're done, upload
the pictures to the PC and start playing a guessing game. Ask the kids to
guess what subject is being photographed in each mystery photo. You'll be
amazed at the answers you get! Snap a whole slew of such pictures and you'll
occupy the kids for the whole afternoon!
