Now that you've started thinking about the project, let's get to work. You need to:
Select a theme (people, place, or thing) relating to your community.
Search the theme for old photos (either by searching the Florida State Archives at http://www.floridamemory.com/photographiccollection/ (be sure to jot down the web address of the specific photo to give to Ms. Polly), or from your own resources.
Re-Photograph that same theme as it is today (by using any kind of camera).
Return both the old photo (or web address of old photo) and the new photo to Ms. Polly by October 30th, 2002. Please enclose the following form with the pictures in an envelope.
Parents: Back in the Art Room, your child will be writing an Artist Statement (short comparison) and getting the photos ready to be displayed on-line.
