The Truth Behind Education

The objective given to us was to "Create a collage of B&W still photographs around the theme of education".

Our initial idea is to show the truth behind school and education in the form of a narrative. It's to show what really goes on in lessons instead of what parents and other adults actually expect. We're going to show three photographs that relate to each other. They will be periodically consecutive. Our brief idea at the moment is to show first a teacher preparing for a lesson, then how the lessons really turns out and finally the teachers reaction to the lesson.
First the teacher will be at a desk surrounded with papers, have a powerpoint open and basically planning the lesson for the next day. The teacher appears very stressed.
The second photo will be of the actual class taking place. The previously mentioned powerpoint will be up on the whiteboard while to teacher is shouting at students who are throwing paper, on their phones and messing around.
The last photo is the same as the second except the class is empty and the teacher has her head against the desk, worn out.

Photo's depicting Conflict

Our task was to find a photo that depicted 'conflict'. These are my two photos.

This photo was taken for obvious reasons. It is an aerial view of tarmac next to a white tile. It looks like the darker side is trying to break through to the lighter side. It could be a representation of darkness breaking into light or trying to take it over. The dirt or dark in the middle looks slightly grey, mixing the two or shows them conflicting, looking for power over the other.

This photo shows a tall natural structure against a tall man-made structure, looking as if they are fighting for power. It makes more of an impact as the background are purely white clouds and the natural feature is dark and the man-made feature is more coloured. This strongly opposes popular stereotypes of nature v man-made. The two seem to be in conflict over who is taller and more important.
