Sup. Working in an inner-city high school teaching photography. Need to think of something for Thursday's class to introduce these kids to the very, very basics of the craft. Like a YouTube video of some sort. Thnx mates

For the love of god don't use a youtube video. I work in a school and I've had to supervise kids for their art classes because the teacher's out and has to tune in on Zoom, and all she does is show Youtube videos on the things she's supposed to be teaching. I've never seen kids so bored.

Can you think of a hands-on activity? Maybe print out some photos and get them to identify where the Rule of Thirds or triangle composition is used, using some clear plastic overlays like binder dividers or something

Pls don't be lazy and just play the videos with out any input actually don't play the videos at all and explain it yourself

You can also pull an old reliable and compile a list of photographers do quick but concise exploration of their work yadda yadda have them pick one they like give them two weeks to either re-create a shot or create one in what ever photographers style they chose

He thinks he's slick but I remember him posting a while back homie probably got the job bc teaching inner city kids is an easy way to get your student loans forgiven

Also here's another freebie idea why not set up a basic studio shoot that might actually peek their interest more than youtube videos but that's only if your school is doing in person classes

The closest those kids will ever get to a camera outside of your class is when they are pilfering through rich people's cars or homes, perhaps mugging a careless tourist.

Basically this.

"Photography" isn't a high school subject, much less a subject in black schools. He is most likely an art teacher who already had a curriculum set up that includes painting, sketching, sculpting and so forth, but wants to do a unit on photography because he likes to show poor kids stuff they will never be able to afford and then crush their dreams in front of them, licking their delicious tears of frustration off their charcoal faces.

Day one for the course should be "what am I going to learn here, and why should I bother?" You don't have to read the syllabus, but you should get the kids excited about the semester. You can try to find out why each student took it, since it's likely an elective and you probably won't cause any damage to reputation if one of them accidentally shows genuine interest.

What's the purpose for the course?

I remember reading about this, some teacher or college professor or shit showed the students a photo taken on a D-Day beach that's really famous to teach them a lesson about not bringing your camera to the beach, especially not a Casio Exili-- no wait

It was to teach them that any shitty ass camera you bring with you, even when there's hell breaking out around you and you're getting shot at, is more than fine to take a fucking photo and to not be retarded about many things

Teach them the other brands like Leica Canon Fuji and Nikon don't support black lives or hate anime like dbz super or one piece. That'll do it.

photography was never considered art. Photography has always been a tool.
I'd argue social media encourages artistic creativity in photography since everyone has uploaded photos now, being creative will set you apart and get you attention

If they would want to see YT vid, they would be fucking there, I'm sure they know the address.

Explain shutter speed, f stops and ISO. Take several photos of their surrounding, that will explain how the exposure triangle works, what the overexposure and underexposure is, tease histogram a little bit.

You probably don't have enough cameras, so search for iOS an Android app that they could use to set the parameters manually.

Oh so photography is this easy to you? Then go pick up some "Japanese consumer electronics" and do a project that you like. Surely it would be really easy for a superman painter like you to be the next Hiroshi Sugimoto or Robert Frank.

It takes skill to take good photos, just like it takes skill to operate a fighter jet but it does not mean it's an art form.

In HS my photo teacher showed us some of his own prints and wouldn't even let us take photos or use cameras until after the first nine weeks or two having us memorize this photography book about how to operate a camera and testing us on chapters. Everything from focal lengths to how much of the changes in aperture meant a stop to the iso/aperture/speed triangle and giving us situations to have to manually (from memory) calculate the settings we'd use in this situation to get the required shot.
Most people who went on to the next level of class, college equivalent, passed the college credit tests.

I feel it helped a lot. He would also buy ilford HP5+ and sell it at cost in class for kids who had trouble getting it on their own.

Art means using a medium as a framing device to recontexualize the frame's content and generate meaning. Through that, you get expression. Your semantics aren't impressive and trying to police words like a retard will only serve to limit you. If you need it explained to you why dismissing the camera as a "product" opens up that criticism to literally every other form of art, you're too far gone. I don't think you actually believe that, though, because few people are as autistic as theyre pretending to be when they start off on that shit. I think you're just a dime a dozen charlatan trying to enforce your own mental tier list.
