If you have access to iPads or digital cameras in your school, your students can become great photographers no matter how young they are! Digital technology makes photography easily accessible for young children. Using a tablet, cameraphone or digital camera they can capture their unique world view and share it with others. Photography is an excellent way to build children’s digital and visual literacy skills and their ability to express themselves.

This resource bundle contains three digital photography projects for lower elementary/primary/KS1 that each introduce one big idea of photography.

Filter Photos: Learning about filters

Reflected Portraits: Learning about camera angles

Patterns & Textures: Learning about close-ups

The bundle includes detailed teacher notes giving clear guidelines for how to take an inquiry-based approach to the projects, suggestions for documenting the process and displaying work and curriculum links for the English National Curriculum and IBPYP.

A note on ages

The age range given is only a suggestion. Particularly if children haven’t had much experience of photography, this lower elementary/primary/KS1 project could easily be used for older children.
