Assignment
Create a full page SketchNote about the movie. Fold a full sheet of paper the same way we folded the planning page for the camera Obscura.
-To build some structure to your SketchNote organize your layout around four major ideas:
---Inventors and developments
---Art vs. Amateur Photography
---The power of photography to make the world a smaller place
---Americas obsession with Celebrity
-As you watch the video, highlight major events in bold, create images and use supporting details.
-Later you can add more emphasis to certain words and add more pictographs to complete the SketchNote.
----------Scan or photograph your sketchnote and take a few detail shots, then post them to the Birth of Photography page on your website. Add a title called: A Century of Images.
