Imagination

Here is my Picasa presentation. The theme is imagination and it was a pretty easy thing to do, which means it is something that I think can be used in the class room for 3rd and 4th graders. It is also useful to display kids' artwork or presentations either to the class or their parents for any occasion. I could even post it online, like I am now, to share it as well.

I came up with this particular theme because I feel that imagination is necessary to survive in today's world and I want to encourage it within my classroom.  The free web based image was a picture I found through google. It is a picture of a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. My digital photo as an image I took on the pedestrian walkway. The structure has been argued to be anything from junk to art. It shows the diversity in imagination and creativity. The third image I have is from the Big Box of Art. It is of a robot spaceman and human spacemen. The fourth image is a screen shot I took from my computer of the first chapter of one of my projects. The fifth is a scanned picture I found from some art a kid made at camp. Its focus is creativity. I felt that all of these images coincide with the theme of Imagination at it's best and they are all different showing the variations of it.

The process of putting all of these images together wasn't difficult and I feel like it is basic enough that it would be easy to teach in the classroom. I did think finding the link to embed the image was rather painful because I couldn't find it until Jennifer pointed it out. So the user-friendly aspects could be tweaked just a bit.
