Have students view the 6 examples of photography from the exhibit. Discuss the images and record the students' observations. Then read the artists' statements to the class. Point to a detail not yet discussed, such as clothing, activities, gestures, expressions and discuss it. Ask the students what makes them think or say what they do regarding the photography.
Photographers make choices when they take a picture.
These choices affect the way we read the image. The following are additional questions to pinpoint these choices. This activity will help the student make deductions about the importance of the environment to the photographer and importance to its people. Using the questions from Activity 3 to facilitate an analysis, compare and contrast Lois Connor and Robert Glenn Ketchum's photographs. Compare and contrast this student's work with the photographs.
