See the world from a different perspective

Giant Steps School's Deloraine in Detail photographic exhibition was created with iPads, often used by the students during their day-to-day activities.

The project is filled with images, not necessarily focused on a typical subject, but on the lines and patterns created within the frame.

In some cases students have focused on their special interest, such as Ben Hadley, 15 - who chose to capture the power pole outside the school.

It's an intriguing insight and a very beneficial activity for the children, some of whom now consider themselves "quite the artiste" according to teacher and curriculum co-ordinator Vanessa Harvey.

"It's interesting to see just what they've captured," she said, alluding to a photo of a rhododendron leaf.

"Somewhere behind there is a rhododendron, but that's not what she would have focused on here - the lines on the leaf would have been much more interesting."

School principal Tim Chugg said the school had been supported by the studio, which donated its exhibition room for a month-long display.

"People with autism spectrum disorder like rules and predictability," Mr Chugg said. "So, in that respect, we're lucky that the tablets have a reliable response ... they can touch directly what they want without having to use a mouse like on a computer."

The exhibition is open from 10am to 4pm until June 30.
