    This article presents the first analysed data from the research project “Youth as Visual Culture Producers: Artistic Skills and Savoir in Secondary Education” financed by the Spanish Innovation and Science Ministry (EDU2009-13712). The data has been gathered using a questionnaire that was answered by 786 teenagers, ages 15 to 19, from schools all around Spain. The questions were designed to get information about three different aspects: - Which is the general picture of the Youth as Visual Culture producer? - Which are the circumstances in which their Visual Culture production takes place and how do they value them? - Which is the connection between school learning and their Visual Culture production? We have found that an overwhelming majority of the inquired teenagers uses photography and very few are into graffiti, comic or web designing despite these have been commonly understood to be youth’s interests. Most of them inform that the origin of their images relays always or very often on their imagination and very few on media images. This is surprising as photography is the main activity of the majority and is used as a way of sharing and keeping record of their everyday lives. In addition we found that non-formal contexts are mostly where they start producing images, usually among friends but unaware of collaborative learning. The main hypothesis underneath the project was also confirmed: secondary education does not take into account how teenagers are connecting with savoirs in and outside school, particularly those involving artistic skills and aesthetic experiences (Birbili, 2005; Hargreaves, Earl and Ryan, 1998). And a new insight has been added: teenagers do not expect any encouragement or interest from their teachers and some of them think it is better that way.
