I will use Flickr to show student art work in progress. These four photos show two 8th grade Oaxacan Sculptures in progression. The students who are coming into my class in the next 6 weeks can see how students before them have done their work. It will help new students visualize the project prior to beginning and it will give students form the past classes a record of their progressing in this advanced project.
I will also use Flickr to keep a gallery of my student work for administration, parents and colleagues to view. This can be used at Parent Night to run a video on my projector to entice new students for art class.
I think it is a great idea to take pictures of your students' progression with their art projects, Lori! I know that if I were a student coming into your class, it would help me a great deal to visualize the new assignment, as well as give me some concept of where I should be heading. I think Flickr is a great way to maintain a gallery of work for you parents and colleagues. As a parent myself, I would love looking online at your Flickr account to view my child's work and to share my child's work with my friends (bragging rights). I know it must be fun to be in your art class!
