Photography can be helpful in such areas of art education as design, mixed media, and sculpture. Shows how the camera can be used in design and mixed media units to help identify shapes, textures, space, and value scales. In sculpture units, it is especially useful when students are sculpting self-portraits. (CS)

Instructions are provided for transfering photographic images onto fabric using Kwik-Print solution. This article is one of several in this issue on graphic arts projects. (SJL)

A technique for demonstrating the negative-positive relationship in photography without a camera or darkroom is described. (RM)

Though every art student should have a chance to do photography, expenses have kept photography out of the art curriculum. Inexpensive pinhole photography can be the answer. Describes the pinhole camera and its construction, setting up the darkroom, using the camera, and print processing. (CS)

Presents some inventive darkroom techniques which can lead students to new interests in designing creative images. These techniques include easel manipulation, image blending, paper negatives, vignette, vaseline smear, cut strip, flop negative, or combinations of these. Each technique is illustrated by a student photograph. (Author/SJL)

The author suggests handbuilt slides as an art project for elementary or secondary students. Instructions are given for making slides with found objects, smoke, and magazine lifts. The article is illustrated with several examples of this technique. (SJL)

Touches upon an area where photography plays an integral role, its relationship to fine art. Demonstrates how photography can be creative, how the camera can be used to capture and record subject matter for the visual artist, and how photography can be used as a teaching tool. (Author/RK)

The technique of using toy cameras for both black-and-white and color photography in the art class is described. The author suggests that expensive equipment can limit the growth of a beginning photographer by emphasizing technique and equipment instead of in-depth experience with composition fundamentals and ideas. (KC)

In this art activity students are asked to make drawings based on projected images of photographic slides. Teachers can project their own personal slides or the slides of old masters for the activity. It is a unique way to motivate students. (RM)

Asserting that photography teachers must emphasize the aesthetic aspects of photography over the technical, the author outlines a field trip activity and the necessary preparation for it. (SJL)

Suggests that observing, photographing, and discussing local buildings and places can help students form opinions about the built environment, the art form they experience most of the time. Presents some teaching ideas from existing photography-in-the-built-environment projects in Britain and the United States. (Author/SJL)

The activities covered in this article are designed to introduce students to photography in a short time span, on a limited budget. Thus, each activity has primary photo exercises and is intended to relate to the next by acting as a foundation experience. (Author)

An Artists-in-the-Schools program that involved a sculptor and a photographer in teaching fourth and fifth grade students about shadow and light is described. The arts program was interdisciplinary and involved the language arts of writing, reading, speaking, and developing vocabulary. (RM)

The Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, sponsors an annual search for the nation's most talented young artists. The purpose of the search is to identify and support through scholarships senior high students who wish to study at the institute. Winning entries from last year's search are reproduced. (RM)

Explains an experimental photographic technique starting with a realistic photograph. Using various media (oil painting, video/computer photography, and multiprint imagery) the artist changes the photograph's compositional elements. Outlines the phases of this evolutionary process. Illustrates four images created by the technique. (DB)
