Accrual to series includes similar textual documents to previous transfers, as well as Astman’s teaching samples, which include graphic material such as negatives, transparencies, prints, image transfers and other experimental works of a variety of materials, such as glass, stone, and plastic. Astman used these samples in her courses and workshops as educational tools to provide students with visual examples of certain processes and techniques. Astman used a wide variety of materials to create her samples in order to demonstrate to students that regardless of budget or available materials, almost anything can be used to create a negative or other photographic artworks. Some samples were created in front of students during demonstrations, workshops or lessons, while others were made by Astman for experimentation and later repurposed for use in the classroom. Samples were often handled by students in class or workshops and passed around to allow for hands-on learning.
