Creative photo art projects around the Ugly Duckling, a children's book, can open students' eyes to seeing life within an entirely new way. In this lesson, students will photograph old, rusty, discarded and unusually placed items found everywhere. Using photo enhancing software, they're going to then develop a picture that can take what others may have seen as ugly, turning it into something beautiful. (Note: If the school doesn't have photo enhancing software, then Gimp, the industry free download, works extremely well.) To make a social world before photography, we'd have to make a world without picture IDs; without portraits of ordinary people; one without pictures as souvenirs of travel; one without celebrity pictures; one without advertising photographs; one without X-rays or views of outer space; your global without views of foreign and exotic peoples; one without pictures of sports, wars, and disasters; and something in which the great many people had no way to visually record the important events with their lives.
