Digital Imagery

My article, " Harris Gallery displays artists’ digital works," discusses how an art exhibit at a college can educate its' viewers of the ever so increasingly digital world. The exhibit displays photos "represents a piece in imaging and are native for thought, making people think differently". Digital Imagery, now a days, is becoming popular at a high rate, not just at an elementary age, but all the way up to college level and beyond. The pictures, or pieces, that were displayed were to create an emotion from the viewer and to see what the artist saw through their eyes. The photos were so profound that passerbys stopped to look at them. An artist, or student, can display their emotions or the point of view through the camera lense of how they view the present.
I think showing photos like this to students is a good way of getting their creative juices flowing and maybe even inspire some to become a photographer. I would also plan a lesson where the students had to go out into their environment, and take pictures of how they view the world, their life, the community. Then I would have them present the pictures to the class and set the photos on display.
It would be a good point in the article to focus on what the viewers learned or felt about each photo or piece. Here is the Link:
