The Invention of the Camera
Good morning, Axelle! 📷 Today, we’re focusing on the invention that changed how we see the world – the camera! 🎥
The Big Question: How did we go from a dark room with a tiny hole to a phone that fits in your pocket? 📱
The Mission: Trace the evolution from the camera obscura to digital photography. Then, learn about the first permanent photograph and how it was made with chemicals and light. ☀️
- Find out who invented the first camera and who took the first selfie. 🤳
- Experiment with your own camera: take a photo from a low angle, high angle, and close-up. What changes? 🔍
- Think: Why are photographs important for remembering history? 🏛️
Did you know? The first selfie was taken in 1839 by a man named Robert Cornelius – he had to stay still for over a minute! 😲
Have fuuuun!!! 📸
Onward and Upward,
Mama & Papa
