6. iPad Project 2: PSU Perspective WebQuest
For the past three years, my Seventh Grade Art and Art I (ninth grade) classes used iPads in order to complete WebQuests designed by Dr. Karen Keifer-Boyd and Yenju Lin's Penn State, University Park A ED 322: Visual Culture & Educational Technologies course.
Seventh Grade Art: Photography Lesson

With your partner, create at least two images using FORCED PERSPECTIVE! Forced perspective is a photographic illusion generally used to make two or more objects seem to be a different size than their actual size.  You will be creating photographs that ENLARGE, EXTEND, or TRANSFORM space.
Project Steps:
BE INSPIRED
BRAINSTORM
COLLECT
PHOTOGRAPH

You will be asking your partner questions assigned to your group and having a discussion. Based on your differentiating perspectives of the questions, you will be creating at least two photographs. One photograph will represent one partner's perspective, while the second photograph will represent the other partner's perspective. This is a little bit more tricky than the first task!
