It is very natural to make connections between digital photography and children because cameras and photos have become such an important element of the American lifestyle. I cannot think of a child over the age of 5 who is either unfamiliar with photography or doesn't know how to take a photo themselves. I think photography can be used an art form for children in many ways:
1) Composite photos of the student, their friends, and family: By having the student take many portraits of their friends and family, they could then manipulate the photos digitally, or print them on translucent paper in order to create an image made up of their loved ones.
2) Portrait as Superhero: Students could turn themselves or their friends into a superhero by dressing up and creating a photo shoot, and could also digitally manipulate the setting or image further.
3) Time Lapse Project: By having the students take a daily photo of themselves, a plant, or any other stationary object, they could compile the photos into a video or GIF to create a time lapsed image.
