Teaching Photography: Tools for the Imaging Educator

by Glenn Rand, Jane Stevens, Garin Horner

Overview

The photographic community is rife with talented and creative practitioners and artists. But making great photographs does not always translate into an ability to teach effectively. This new edition of Teaching Photography approaches photographic education from a point of view that stresses the how and why of the education. It includes the resources that will inspire new and seasoned teachers to help students expand their technical and aesthetic abilities and techniques, as well as their visual literacy and the way photography fits into the wider world. Fully updated to include the online/hybrid classroom environment, collaborative learning, rubrics, and using digital technology, plus techniques for inspiring conversations and critiques.

Editorial Reviews

"The book by Rand and Zakia is a must for teachers or those who are contemplating becoming a teacher. It's primary audience are those who teach in the visual arts, but it has a wealth of information and ideas which any teacher could use. I would also recommend this book for individuals who teach photo seminars or workshops. The art of teaching is quickly dying and this is a refreshing breath that will hopfully inspire teachers and those who want to teach to do more than show up for their job, but take their role as teacher seriously and guide their students in the learning process." - D.Davis on amazon.com
