EDTECH 506: Introductory Image


"I always loved art teachers because they were so bizarre. They were like the homeless people of the faculty -- all disheveled, wearing smocks, covered in paint, always digging through the garbage, looking for bottles and egg cartons and things."   

                                                                                                            - Ted Alexandro


For this assignment I created a image from my classroom using FotoFlexer. I included the first line of one of my favorite quotes by Ted Alexandro in this picture. This image includes a great deal of information about me. I placed the drawing figures in the middle of this image and positioned them into their dancing poses.  Their positioning conveys fun and carefree action through movement.  There are pieces of art I have created as will as the projects and materials I use with students in my classroom.  I am drawn to color and fun loving which is what I hope to convey through this image.  I do not have a lot of experience using photo editing software so I am hoping to gain learn some new things with the work we do in this class.  Nice to meet all of you!
