A 10 lesson project on creating a staple city in the style of artist Peter Root. Students are introduced to depth of field and creating artwork to photograph, rather than finding art to photograph. The focus of the lessons are to test, investigate and explore their camera and then re shoot to improve. The base of the lessons are powerpoint but could easily be transferred to book work. The power point is task based and broken down into lessons. Checklist templates are included. Images are artists own: Peter Root or students work.
