Hi there. I just came across your resourceful web site. I am about to introduce some 3rd graders to Ansel Adams. They will learn about his background w their hr teacher. I will embark on teaching the creative piece in art class. We are going explore b&w photography in nature using digital media. Any advice would appreciated and welcomed. I plan to keep it simple for this level. The subject, composition, contrast and texture and response(critique). Is it ok if I use your plans as a reference guide? Thank you for your website.
