New classes!

It's been awhile since I last posted, but I'm back!

My newest teaching class is teaching me all about technology in the classroom so I want this to be back, and I hope to use this for that class, we will see.

So today I created a new website that I can possibly use in the future in my classroom! It's "Miss Patron's Classroom"

In this class I will get to use several Google pages (sites, documents, blogger, Picassa, etc) as well as learning some softwares that I can use in the future.

I will keep this updated while taking the and maybe with some others. We will see.

Photographers from today's lecture

We learned about a few photographers today in my photo 3 class. Diane Arbus, Loretta Lux and Micheal Disfarmer.

Diane Arbus

Loretta Lux

Micheal Disfarmer

First, Diane Arbus. She is one of the most famous photographers, in the style that she would seek out things that "weren't normal" and photograph it. In the way of this we, as a viewer, are able to stare as long as we want without feeling awkward.

One of the most famous images of her is of the twins. This set of twins was also what gave the director of The Shining the idea of the repeated twins because they were not in the original book, but added to add to the "creep" factor. 

You've seen this, I know it..

Transfer and Problem Solving

While sitting here doing my homework for my Educational Psychology homework, the main point in the questions was showing how metacognition, transferring, and problem solving is found in your focus area.

Dealing with transfer, which I feel like is one of the important factors of art (mainly with keeping it in the schools, they must be able to combine with with other subjects) and while looking up random things I came across this article The Arts and the Transfers of Learning. I have not read the article all the way through but I loved this chart that they had..

People must realize that the arts is in every subject and careers that they come across every day. 

But more or less I wanted to showcase a very simple (younger age but could easily be transfered to an older age) lesson plan that helps with problem solving (something I had to do for my questions for my ed psyc class).

The every simple scribble drawing! Students will know they can only use three colors and no line could share the same color.

Brassaï

Today in Photo 3 we focused on one photographer, Brassaï.

He was a Hungarian photographer who started out as a reporter/writer, then started dabbling in photography, then became one of the first night photographers.

He loved his night photography. And he loved showing the relationship between a couple.
