Photographer Matches Artwork to Museum Visitors

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Most of us were bored at some museum at least once in our lives - except this guy! France-based photographer Stefan Draschan always keeps himself entertained at famous art galleries with his creative photography ideas.

One of those projects is "People matching famous paintings ". Although at first Draschan's cool pictures seem perfectly staged, the secret behind them is patience. The photographer enjoys visiting different museums mostly in Paris, Vienna, and Berlin where he waits for visitors to suddenly match with a piece of classical art in a funny way. The result of his bright idea is these humorous and unique pictures of unexpected harmony between people and the classical paintings they're facing. It's usually the outfits that match the art, but there are also people who match with the paintings because of their hairstyles and colors, or even beards.

Scroll down to see this ongoing project for yourself and beware - Stefan Draschan might be somewhere out there "hunting" for you!ng" for you!

Content

Content

Story

structure of story

beginning, middle, end (or first, then, last)

literary elements and devices

examples include sound concepts (e.g., rhyme, rhythm, musical, and poetical qualities of language) and humorous and creative texts (e.g., tongue twisters, nursery rhymes, fables, traditional stories)

Strategies and processes

reading strategies

making meaning using predictions and connections; making meaning from story using pictures, patterns, memory, and prior knowledge; retelling some elements of story; and recognizing familiar words/names and environmental print (e.g., street signs, food packaging)

oral language strategies

adjusting volume, pace, tone, and articulation; focusing on the speaker; taking turns; asking questions related to the topic; making personal connections; making relevant contributions to discussion

metacognitive strategies

talking and thinking about learning (e.g., through reflecting, questioning, goal setting, self-evaluating) to develop awareness of self as a reader and as a writer

writing processes

Language features, structures, and conventions

concepts of print

the conventional features of written English, such as:
- the symbolic nature of writing
- the correspondence of spoken words to printed words (one-to-one matching)
- the association of letters and sounds
- the distinctive features of letters and words
- the correspondence between uppercase and lowercase letters
- left-to-right directionality
- the use of space to mark word boundaries
- the use of specific signs and symbols for punctuation (e.g., period, exclamation point, question mark)
- front and back of a book

letter knowledge

recognizing and naming most letters of the alphabet, recognizing most letter-sound matches, recognizing some familiar words

phonemic and phonological awareness

Phonological refers to the sounds of words (as opposed to their meanings):
- Phonemic awareness is a specific aspect of a learner's phonological awareness: a child's ability to segment spoken words into phonemes (e.g., c / a / t) and to blend phonemes into words indicates a developing phonemic awareness.
- Phonological awareness involves the abilities to hear and create rhyming words, segment the flow of speech into separate words, and hear syllables as "chunks" in spoken words.

letter formation

the use of scribble writing or letter strings to communicate meaning; distinguishes drawing from writing

the relationship between reading, writing, and oral language

Curricular Competency

Curricular Competency

Comprehend and connect (reading, listening, viewing)

Create and communicate (writing, speaking, representing)

Many children have their first literacy experience by exploring their names: the letters and the sounds they make. Children need early exposure to begin to make letter-sound associations that then turn into early reading and writing experiences. As more skills are developed, children learn more tools to become active word solvers.
