Creative Composers -- Bethlehem

Campers got their creative juices flowing when looking at The Earth From Above by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. They used this great book to ponder photographs that could inspire their writing. For instance, campers described one particular photograph in the following ways:
• “it looks like green emeralds” -- Simon
• “it looks like big green splots you see when you’re up in the airplane" --Ruby

Wondering what it really was? A photograph, "Terraced Rice Fields in Indonesia.” Campers learned that the numerous lines within the photograph are actually irrigation systems that transport water within a field of the most important crop in Asia -- rice!

We also explored poetry with a focus on saying more with fewer words.
