Light Paintings

Light Paintings

This project was so fun once I finally figured out how to do it!

I started by downloading some free apps to my phone but those did not work like I had hoped. My digital camera did not have the right functions for me to change but I still managed to make it work. I was able to set my camera to its night setting and prolong the shutter speed.

To create the beautifully colored light I had each of my roommates look up their favorite color on their smart phones. Once the color completely filled the screen I had them turn the brightness of the screen all the way up. 

I had one roommate act as our model while the other two stood behind her waving their phones around while I took the pictures.

This Project would be extremely fun for students of all ages to experiment with. The only tricky part would be making the classroom completely dark in the middle of the day.

If the school does not have access to Ipad's or Ipod's you could bring in your personal camera and see what fun things the class can come up with as a whole.
