In class we did this activity where we got into groups of two and we each had a piece of construction paper where there was a picture on it with an image. Autumn and I got this image from the show Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader. We were suppose to observe the picture and write about what we thought was going on and what we got from looking at the picture. Then, after a couple minutes, we passed the picture on to the next group in line and they added something else on to what we said or just something they observed about the picture. I liked this activity because if you didn't know what the picture was about or what was happening in it then you could assume anything about it and it could be totally wrong. I think this activity sort of portrays life. If someone were to freeze or lives at any given moment what would they see? What would we see? Would we like the way our life was seen or would we be ashamed?
I learned something from this activity and I think it was a good activity to tie into what we are talking about this semester in English.
I really like that you ask "If someone were to freeze or lives at any given moment what would they see? What would we see? Would we like the way our life was seen or would we be ashamed?" because that is so true! I always wonder what people would think if they were to look into my life. Everybody has their different perceptions and i find that very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting the different comments each picture produced because some people knew what the pictures were about, or what shows they were from and others didn't. One of the points of the activity was to form an outside opinion as if you'd never seen it before, and some people hadn't.
ReplyDeleteAbby, I agree with you on this one. This activity really let you open your mind to think anything you wanted to. Most of these images I hadnt seen before and so I really got to interpret it how I wanted to.
