This is a great lesson that focuses on formative assessment to see if students can not only define the elements of art but find, explain and photograph them, showing knowledge, application and understanding.  The lesson is also a great way to share with students basic photography and composition skills. 

Take a look at the art and understanding demonstrated and created by using photography & cell phones in the outdoor classroom.
