In this lesson idea, students are asked to think about Singapore’s transition from a natural environment to a cityscape. The teacher can introduce different artists who have used photography to speak strongly about environmental issues, such as global warming or climate change or social change.
Artists for reference include: Robert Zhao, Darren Constantino, Ricardo Mendonca Ferreira, Arun Raghu, David Anderson, Jack Dekort, or Kevin Meredith A possible elegant art task could be: Take a series of photographs depicting the word “Transition”, using objects you use daily or can see around you. E.g. Comparing a new tube of toothpaste to an empty tube of toothpaste, or a snapshot of a pair of clean school shoes at the beginning of the week and a dirty pair at the end of the week. After collecting a series of photographs that depict “transition”, they can be put together to form a photo montage. |
