Directions
Pick one image.
Do not research the painting, image or the artist. Do not
write about the painter or artist.
Tip:Before you begin writing read about the topic
in the textbook, my content comments, and the description of the
image found under the image in the textbook.
1) Name the primary source you picked and
describe in detail explaining what you see
After describing the source you picked
answer these questionsabout the image:
2) What culture, time period and place does it depict? What
is the historic setting? What does this source tell us about the
time and place in which it was produced?
3) What perspective does the artist portray about the topic?
4) What "story" or "narrative" does the image display about
the period after 1815 or the people in it? What was left out? What
else would you like to have seen drawn, portrayed or painted?
5) What can we learn about the American experience from the
image?
