Making Interdisciplinary Connections:
Finding Inspiration in Ansel Adams & Edwin Land
Art & History –
How does Ansel Adams use photography to document a
particular place and time?
Art & English/Language Arts –
Have students respond to photographs through poetry or another
creative writing exercise.
Art & Science/Technology –
Explore the nature of a artist/scientist collaboration. How has
technology and science changed since Ansel Adams and
Edwin Land? How has it therefore affected art.
