Sometimes you run across something that is just really neat and you want to share it with others. National Geographic has something new that is called Infinite Photograph and it is totally amazing! The Infinite Photograph is created from over 300,000 photos that is has in its archives or pictures submitted by users, it takes those photos and creates a giant mosiac. The cool part; it allows you to zoom in infinitely, basically allowing you to go deeper and deeper into each photograph that makes up the giant mosiac. Take a look:
Somehow I doubt that an Art teacher or a Photography teacher would have any problem getting their students interested in art and/or photography in my opinion. But, if they do, this Infinite Photograph item created by National Geographic is surely to grab their attention. It is a really cool project and the pictures used to create the mosiac are really great pictures as well…something that looks like snow on one picture is actually a scene of something totally different…you have to take a look to see what I mean!
Want to create your own mosiac using your own pictures? Try Image Mosiac Generator (v3.0). Although it will not allow you to zoom in infinitely it is still a really good program that will allow you to create your own mosiac, give it a try, and then give it to your students and see what they can come up with!
