Math and Photography Arts Integration Lesson Plan

It’s back!  After a hiatus, a Free Friday Arts Integration lesson plan is here!  And on one of our most requested topics: using photography in the classroom.  This lesson is written for grades 5-8 in terms of its connection to the Math Common Core Standards (understanding and using ratios) and in the transferability of skill in the visual art piece.  This particular lesson uses digital photography and a grid system to understand composition and to translate that into a drawn piece of art.  It’s highly engaging for both teachers and students and the resulting work is something you will want to proudly display.  We hope you enjoy this lesson and look forward to your feedback as you implement it in your classrooms!
