Photography and Construction Toy Dioramas

This lesson uses construction toys and photography to create a sense of drama. Students work together to build small scenes from the range of construction toys available. Young people should carefully consider the placement of each piece, in order to get the optimal dramatic effect from the formation. When the scene has been completed, students should photograph it from various angles. After a series of photographs have been taken, students can review the photographs as a group and make collective decisions on the most interesting and dramatic compositions.

Here's an example of what was created last time I ran this session.
