Bowling Green State
University (BGSU) Associate Professor Lynn Whitney provides her students with
thinking about and seeing their lives through different perspectives. Students
in her photography classes are exposed to how the camera sees. They consider
the weight of assigning meaning to what they choose to include inside the
camera’s frame. Through the camera, students find out what interests them;
through class critiques they are pushed to find out why. Lynn Whitney
subscribes to the notion that making a picture is an invitation to learn
something new and is a beautiful medium for creating empathy in this
contemporary climate. Her intermediate class, Community Projects in Photography,
introduces students to the challenge of going beyond what they think they
already know and to broaden their ideas of what they think possible. In this
class students engage with exploring the lives of people with disabilities
in the Bowling Green community.
Project origins
“Having a passion
for an aspect of the world and related issues often finds an aesthetic
expression through art. Photography is powerful for, through it, is the ability
to bring about awareness, sometimes, even, significant change. Aesthetics and
the ability that art has, especially photography, to make change in the world —
is why this project with Wood Lane is incredibly important to me,” Whitney said.
Wood Lane in is an organization which,
since 1955, has provided children, youth, and adults with developmental
disabilities a community of their own in Bowling Green.
Whitney began to
consider Speaking OF in 2012 through the BGSU Service Learning
Community, directed at that time by V. Jane Rosser, PhD. In developing her
community engagement course, Whitney met with her former student, Dianna Temple
who, after earning her BFA in Photography went on to the University of Toledo
for her doctorate in Occupational Therapy and now works for Wood Lane as a
Health Supports Coordinator. Along side a friendship that has gone far beyond
student/professor relationship, “I felt I had the absolute best
connection in Dianna and, with her, the best opportunity to open up students’
minds and hearts to others,” Whitney said.
I am so happy to read this. I truly would like to attempt look at your blog one day before! I really appreciate sharing this great. I like the way you explain it, it’s impressive Lynn is a great inspiring teacher. I am extremely new to your post but really want to know more in future.
ReplyDeleteLynn is a sweet person who truly wants her students to succeed. She expects you to make intelligent and thoughtful work and to respect your education. Her resume makes her pretty intimidating but her demeanor is very relatable. Her teaching style is loose but when it comes down to it if you ask for help you won't be disappointed by what she knows. She pushed me to take pictures of a subject that I cared deeply for. She will tell you when your photos are not working. While always making her available to help whenever you need her. She changed the way I look at photo. She changed the artist that I'm becoming. Really a catalyst in your art career in that she helps advance yourself into a critical and thoughtful person behind the lens. She puts muscle and heart and mind into photo, which is what it needs.
A teacher is the person who shapes the future of each one by providing best teaching to her/his students. Teacher plays a big role in the education of each student. Bad teachers teach to pay their bills. Good teachers instruct because they are passionate about teaching. Best teachers like you, teach to make the world a better place. Behind every successful man and woman, there is an unsung hero – a teacher who silently enjoys tears of happiness when she sees her student’s succeeding. This post must inspire for all teachers. Once again thank you for the sharing the great post. Keep share such an amazing post.
