PROCEDURES
From the plants found in the garden each child creates a finery element. The pupil chooses in the garden a place where he/she wants to be photographed with their finery.
Then the student positions the finery in the garden so as to set it off. They take a photo.
After having observed the photos, the pupil chooses at home a music that will reveal their personality, the image they want to reflect through : posture, the finery, the place chosen in the garden.
FOLLOW-ON-ACTIVITIES
In official photos (for instance wedding photos) study the way a photograph proceeds to stage in a natural setting.
TRANSPOSITION
For the oldest : create and edit a short film introducing the whole group.
For the youngest : stage oneself in a garden while being photographed with their favourite toy.
