About the Artist
Julie Keefe
Julie has worked as a professional documentary photographer for over 20 years. She soon became interested in teaching children how to share their individual and collective voices using photography and writing.
If You Knew Me, You Would Know -or- How I See Myself/How Others See Me
In this Photography+Writing Residency designed for students in upper elementary and middle school, Julie Keefe will teach students how to use a variety of perspectives, compositions and elements of design to create photographic portraits that illustrate their unique character traits and strengths. Each student will construct a poster that demonstrates both their visible and hidden strengths by incorporating photographs, writing and design.
Students will use high quality Ricoh digital cameras and a variety of graphic design tools.
Day 1 Julie will introduce a variety of peer examples that detail the project and provide goals and expectations. Students will learn basic camera operation and composition via in-class demonstrations. Students will pair up and practice with cameras inside the classroom.
Day 2 We review the project goals, brainstorm ideas with our partners, and head outside, (no matter the weather), to create visual metaphors through photographs.
Day 3 Students receive their 4″x6″ printed photographs, share them on their tables and then participate in a group “photo walk” where positive vocabulary is outlined and encouraged. This empowers students to more easily choose the photographs for their individual posters.
Day 4 Using visual “mind mapping” guidance and by audibly and visually and often physically, sharing a wide variety of poems, essays and peer examples, we create the writing that will accompany our posters.
Day 5 Using high quality paper, gel pens, stencils, sharpies and glue and by incorporating elements of design, students create their posters and share them with the class.
