Students in 5th bell worked with Ms. Foster's drama students to create powerful images focusing on bullying in school. The collaboration was wonderful! There were underclassman and upperclassman working together and creating exciting and new connections.
I was very impressed that in just four days, students found strong concepts, created powerful images and were able to present to their peers. I was moved by many of the projects and the ability for students to confront such large and sometimes uncomfortable images.
Arty on!

bullying roles:
A student worked by himself to create this powerful image. He represented the common roles played by students including: bystander laughing at their locker, someone to stand up and stop bullying, a bully and a victim of bullying.
emotional bullying:
For these photographs we used balancing elements. On each side of the picture there is a girl holding the sign. If you cut this picture down the middle it would be balanced. We also used framing. The girls are framed behind the window to help focus more on them. We also cropped the picture to get the effects we wanted.
verbal bullying:
For these photographs we used rule of thirds (fag image), perspective and leading lines (loner image) and odd numbers and use of space (tramp image).
physical bullying:
For these photographs we used perspective and birds eye view.
vandalizing bullying:
For these photographs we used:Color: We used color to make things stand out and to bring attention to the main focus of the pictures.
Rule of Thirds: We used rule of thirds to build up tension in some of the pictures. It also provides interest to the pictures.
Perspective: We took some of the pictures from the victims point of view. This gives it more meaning and gives you a sense as to how the person is feeling.

cyber bullying:
For these photographs we used perspective, leading lines, use of space and dominant emphasis.
the bully cycle:
We portrayed physical, verbal, cyber and self harm. For these photographs we used leading lines, odd numbers, use of space and balancing elements.
misguided bullying:
Our project represents the newly occurring debate on whether or not the dance team should become a part of the color guard and band to spare time at half time of football and basketball games. We have friends who have bullied and been bullied on this subject so we have a pretty good insight on the matter. We used somewhat of a birds eye view perspective to represent that higher power unlike the other two pictures.
| Our first picture represents one member from both the color guard and the dance team, happily where they feel they belong. | Our second picture shows what we feel would happen if they were to switch places, therefor we had the girls switch uniforms and show a sense of unhappiness. | Our third picture shows the girls arguing with a black figure behind them. The picture represents misguided bullying, the black figure is a "higher power" that has control over what the girls are arguing about. |
