Framing Ideas integrates the study of photography into fine arts, language arts, and social science curriculum for secondary and post-secondary students. Each section contains questions for looking and discussion; information on American artists, artworks, and artistic genres and traditions; classroom activities; and image sets related to the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography. These resources are aligned with national Common Core learning standards and can be adapted for use by younger students.
