James+Doane+-+Perspective+on+a+Tattoo

For this project I used a Kodak C713 digital camera. I took pictures of a tattoo and worked with three themes to demonstrate how we view and learn about objects in our environment. I enjoyed this exercise from a planning perspective. It was challenging to think about how pictures of an object can be used to demonstrate information about the object itself and the environment the object exists in. Secondly, it was exciting and challenging to arrange the photos in a way that could demonstrate information about the topic and the learning experience as a whole. The three themes I worked with while taking these pictures were:
 * Distance -- To me this demonstrated how the process of learning about something is often like piecing together a puzzle. We take the information we have at hand and use our past experiences and knowledge to learn until we feel we have a solid grasp on the objective.
 * Form -- My main takeaway here was how often our learning objective is manipulated or perceived to be manipulated by its environment. This can add another level of complexity to the learning experience.
 * Angle -- The different angles reminded me how different learner types can have a completely different view of the same object. It reminded me of the importance of being focused on your audience if you are developing educational materials.

Important note: The presentation was created in Power Point and converted to PDF for upload. On each page there are notes explaining the process. In order to view the notes move your cursor over the note icon in the top left corner of the document.

Thanks and enjoy!
