Photography class assignment

[Jana Dixon <dixonj@CMS.DSC.K12.AR.US>]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to LM_NET, this is my second year as a school media
specialist, but my first to this particular school.  I'm hoping for some
assistance with an assignment that the photography teacher has in
mind for his students.  This teacher is new to using the library and I
would like to encourage him, but I'm not sure how to "tweek" his
assignment to make it work well.  He would like to assign the students
to come to the library one day each week for 9 weeks to research a
photographer online, filling some bio information in a worksheet and
printing a photograph that they have found on the Internet taken by
this photographer.  I followed some of the links from the site that he
gave me (www.masters-of-photography.com), and I'm very hesistant
about how to proceed. I'm not sure about the students using the
pictures that they find due to copyright issues and the appropriateness
of some of the content of the pictures (nudity).

Has anyone worked with a similar situation or can you recommend
any really good sources for use with a webquest for a photography
class?

Thanks!
