ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE VISITS KNAPP ELEMENTARY

Knapp Elementary School’s artist-in-residence and North Penn School District graduate Melissa Medlin visited the school for an entire week. Various activities were planned for every grade level to support photography of student diversity.  Along with learning to use digital cameras, students worked on photography techniques including spatial relationships, texture and scale in architecture, portrait and profile studies and emotion through art.  It was a busy and exciting week and the students learned many things about digital photography, including how it applies to classroom learning and artistic endeavors.

The end result for the students at Knapp Elementary is a mural of all 625 children in the shape of a Knapp Jaguar plus numerous pictures around the building from these rich experiences. Thank you to art teacher Carol Guinn and the Knapp Home and School Association for funding this visit.
