Teaching Photography, Volume 1: Tools for the Imaging Educator
內容描述
Description
Finally, a book for the teachers! Just because you got
the job doesn't mean you have the background. Educators get up in front of the
class and don't always have the answers or the skills to reach their
photography students. The camera isn't everything! Teaching Photography is
aimed at assisting educators to help students expand their knowledge and
abilities in the techniques, the aesthetics, and the way photography fits into
a greater world of knowledge, by providing ideas for inspiring conversations
and critiques, as well as insightful pointers regarding the learner's
perspective in this new world. Teaching Photography approaches the many
aspects of photographic education from a point of view that stresses the how
and why of the education and not the technique to be taught.
