Photography Exhibition
Clifton and Lambert Exhibition
We have been working with Jay Moy from Creative partnerships for a number of years (2 and a half years at Clifton and 1 and a half years at Lambert). Jay is a digital media artist which means he has a range of skills linked to using cameras, video and computers. Jay has supported staff developing their skills in using photographs and videos to record what the children do in the nursery. As staff we have found this very useful to reflect on what the children are learning so we can plan further activities to support the children.
Mums, Dads and carers will have already, or very soon, seen the benefit of this by sharing the children's learning journeys with key workers.
We have also introduced using cameras with the children. We really want to make the cameras available to the children as part of their everyday nursery activities. Some children have become very good at using the cameras to record what they are interested in and thinking.
This has led to the exhibition at the Ferens Art Gallery. We are extremely proud of this exhibition. Even though our children are very young they are very clever, they take amazing photographs that have some very interesting meanings. If you have not been yet you have until Wednesday 25th May 2011!!!
Jay has used all the work from the exhibition to produce a book. There are examples available in both centres and copies can be ordered on the internet. To see the pages from the book click here - select the first photo then hover the mouse over the right hand side of the photo and the 'next' button will appear so you can easily look through the entire book.
