[pinhole-discussion] Re:[pinhole-discussion]lesson plan
Lisa, I start young students with the 35mm film cannisters pinhole cameras. I use a standard single paper punch to put a 1/4 hole in the cannister. We use soda cans, drill with a needle driven into a 3/8 dowel(Thanks Stewart Woodruff), into an eraser. Then sand the burr created with fine sandpaper and tape it over the hole. A piece of electrical tape is used for a shutter. I too cut the paper ahead of time and store in the safebox. My older students start with a Pringle's Snack ca(3.5x5format)spray with flat black paint and follow a similar plan as the 35mm. A great source of cannisters is your local photo processing shop. They have been great about saving them for me. Good Luck, Chuck Flag

I want the students to be able to make their cameras cheaply and quickly. Has anybody tried using black foam core? The majority of my cameras have been made either from coffee cans or black foam core (I have gone up to 16X20 with the latter, but I wouldn't recommend it). The advantage of foam core is that it is cheap and easy to make. You can abuse the camera as much as you want, and when it finally becomes unusable, just toss it and make another.

Lisa, Call polaroid at their 1-800 number,They will send you some cool plans and a lot of great ideas for teachers ,as well as students.the plus side is they will be able to check things out without the added labor of developing and printing.I dont have the number in front of me but it can be accessed easily.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] lesson plan
Hi Lisa, You should turn the classroom into a giant camera! It's easy. Just cover the windows with light blocking material like cardboard, black plastic, (someone recently wrote about using aluminum foil), etc. Then cut a small square in a central place (a 2 inch square works well). Make apertures of different sizes shapes out of black paper or plastic to place over the hole and see the image fill up the whole room. A 1 inch circle will do for a start, you can vary from 1/2 inch up to 2 inches. Next, add a lens to see how one of those fancy camera things work. Let the kids do all the work, it's skill building!

Re: [pinhole-discussion] lesson plan
Lisa, When I teach pinhole, we start with an empty box of salt. We paint it black on the inside with tempera paint and cut a 1 square hole for the pinhole which is made from the soda can. Tape, a new top, etc. It's very easy. leezy

Hi Lisa, You may want to visit the following site of Martha Casanave from the University of California in Santa Cruz. http://www.stanford.edu/~cpatton/pinhole.html She offers a class in pinholin' and she has her class notes on the Web, including building a 4x5 foamcore camera. The camera is designed to take 4x5 film holders, but you could adjust the plans if your students use paper. I'm not sure about copyrights here. You may want to send her an email to check with her about using this material. Cheers, Guy
