Examine how message crafting is achieved through photography by exploring how creators use a combination of technical skills and basic posing to evoke emotions and send a message through imagery.
Teachers will explore images created by visual storytellers and take note of the tools and strategies they use to convey a message.
As a collective, we will talk specifically about the tools and points that create a message. Teachers will then discuss how they would like to incorporate that into their classrooms, as well as ways to invite students to think about visual storytelling. Mika will do this by engaging teachers in the activities they use with students and sharing their experience. Together Mika and teachers will use their collective experiences to talk about ways teachers can connect their students specific interests to visual storytelling, and better understand the messages that are being presented to them.
