When the students came to my school I greeted them at the entrance. I then lead them upto the classroom in which we would be working in. My photography teacher and my fellow student were already in the classroom waiting for us to arrive.
I sat all of the students down around one large table, I then stood at the head of the table and explained to them what we would be doing. I had my Macbook set up to the large screen at the front of the classroom. This was so that I could demonstrate to the class what exactly to do.
My plan for them was to take photos of themselves on PhotoBooth which was already installed in the Mac's. PhotoBooth has lots of different settings which enabled the students to have morphed faces. After I had let them 'play around' with PhotoBooth for a while, I introcduced them to Photoshop. I told them to take a photo of their face and then open it up with Photoshop so they could explore the uses of that themselves. I had to demonstrate what to do on the large board again to avoid confusion.
After I had done this my fellow student friend took the kids in two's over to the studio where they was able to take photos of themselves, full bodied. These photos would be of better quality which helps when using a program like Photoshop. This gave them something extra to do just incase they were getting slightly tired of using PhotoBooth. However I do not think this was the case at all because they all seemed really interested, they were all really enthusiastic about the whole activity that I had planned.
I was able to show the student about some of the things you can do on Photoshop. Like, draw on the photo, change th background to something completely different and to distort things.
These following photos will be of me carrying out the activities that I have just described:
