Students do a daily "Bell Work" activity analyzing a significant or historical photo. They must make written comments about the composition, contrast, focus, balance, framing and statements each photo is making. This is our daily warm up exercise.

We also watched several videos on YouTube about the Pulitzer Prize for Photography and those photographers who took the most iconic photos of their time.
