Working with pupils from the Choices Programme, we visited the Loch Lomond National Park Gateway Centre. Whilst there we used sensitive recording equipment to record environmental sounds from the Art Park, visitor centre, Drumkinnon Tower, the loch shores and shops. We also took digital photographs of all the areas we visited. These images and sounds were combined using ejay music software and digital imaging software to produce slide shows of the photographs with a sound track accompaniment.
What the students learned
- New skills in sound recording and editing
- New skills in photography and image manipulation
- Improved group work skills
- An extension of creative and imaginative skills through both the practical work and the visit to the Art Park
