Cropped animal portraits

1st Grade students used viewfinders to zoom in closely to a photograph of an animal. They saw a demonstration of using photo-editing software to see how to crop a photo. They learned that sometimes artists crop a photo or artwork to show emphasis (or what the artist thinks is the most important part of the artwork).
Students cropped a photo of the animal of their choice and then drew what was in the viewfinder very large. Then they wrote clues to help people guess what animal they zoomed in on.
