Tracey Hunter-Doniger is an elementary visual arts teacher who is fortunate enough to work in a school that realizes the value and influence art has on technology. Twice a year, her first-through fifth-grade classes meet in the computer lab to create computer-generated works of art. the class discusses the importance of art in technology, such as video games, movies, websites, even commercials. The basic message: Art and computers go hand in hand. By using digital photography she hoped to provide a higher level of thinking for her students. First the class studied composition. They discussed the importance of placement, balance, and center of focus. They looked at artwork by photographers such as Ansel Adams and William Henry Jackson. They discussed how composition was used to show importance in a photograph. Then, with a viewfinder made out of cardboard, students practiced framing potential artistic views. As they looked at our artroom through an artists' perspective, they learned how to enhance the outcome of their projects. One week prior to art/computer week, the class went on a walk around school grounds and were asked to photograph something they took pride in. Once in the computer lab, students worked on photoshop to to digitally enhance their pictures. The resulting artwork was proof that art and computers do go hand-in-hand.
