Capturing Light: The Science of Photography (Beginning Level) Grades/Level: Upper Elementary (3–5) Subjects: Visual Arts, Science Time Required: 3–5–Part Lesson 1–3 class periods Author: J. Paul Getty Museum Education Staff Permissions: The lesson plan and downloadable materials on this page are licensed under a. Contents Lesson Overview Students create pinhole cameras to understand that light travels in a straight path.

They describe the lines and shapes in a 19th-century photograph of a building and then use their pinhole cameras to trace the architecture of their school building. Learning Objectives Students will: • Understand that light travels in a straight path. • Understand that the process of making photographs has changed over time. • Identify lines and shapes in a photograph of a building. • Draw a building by using the pinhole camera as a tracing tool. Materials • Reproduction of The Emperor's Private Mosque by Dr. John Murray • Information about the featured work of art and Questions for Teaching • Student handout: Light Waves and Camera Pinhole Illustration • Empty cardboard oatmeal canisters • Black spray paint • Waxed paper • Rubber bands • Thick black paper, cut to the width of each oatmeal canister and the length plus two inches • Small, thin pin or needle • Masking tape • Journals or bound paper for recording notes • Pencils • Drawing paper.

Lesson Steps 1. Ask students if they have seen or used digital cameras or camera phones. Tell students that taking pictures is much easier now because we simply push a button and see the picture right away. Display an image of Dr. John Murray's photograph The Emperor's Private Mosque.

Tell students that while today's digital pictures are viewable instantly, early photographic images like Dr. Murray's had to be developed using special chemicals.

Explain that this picture is a paper negative that was created with a camera. A negative is the image that is made with the camera, and the print is the positive image (opposite of the negative). Use the Questions for Teaching to encourage students to look closely at the image. Explain that students will create a simple camera to learn about the type of basic tool that artists use to make photographs. Explain that the paper negative was created using methods similar to those they will be using in this lesson. Inform the class that light travels in a straight path and that humans learned to use light to create images on paper.

Tell them that the word photograph means 'to write with light,' and that camera means 'room.' Therefore, when we take a picture with a camera, we are capturing light in a small dark room. Students will create pinhole cameras.

First, you will need to spray-paint black on the insides and outsides of empty cardboard oatmeal canisters. Spray paint works best for an even, thick coat of paint so that no light can come in from the sides of the canisters. • Give each student a pre-painted oatmeal canister, a piece of waxed paper, a rubber band, a piece of black paper, and masking tape. • With a pin, help students poke a hole in the center of the bottom of the canister. • Students will center the waxed paper over the top of the can, wrap it around the sides, and secure it with a rubber band. • Then students will wrap the black paper around the perimeter of the canister and align the edge of the paper with the bottom of the canister.
