Teaching about Photography: Selectivity, Instantaneity, and Credibility.

Barrett, Terry

Art Education, v39 n3 p12-15 May 1986

The first of a three-part series on teaching about photography, this article argues that photography is significantly different from drawing and painting and that the differences should be highlighted so that photography can be appreciated for what it uniquely offers. The concepts treated are selectivity, instantaneity, and credibility. (JDH)
