Abstraction and Cropping as Storytelling Modes
10 record(s)
Created by: educator
Notes: Images can be arranged and rearranged for juxtapositions, telling and retelling stories as they converse. How do you see similar storytelling modes echoed in literature?

Civil War
22 record(s)
Created by: educator
Notes: America’s Civil War was one of the first major military conflicts to be documented through photography. Consider how the stories told about the war by photographs compare to images in other formats. Who might have seen each? How do the implied narratives of the images differ? How does this compare to the ways in which we receive our news today? Photographs, illustrations from Harper's Weekly, and paintings can be compared and contrasted to each tell their part of the narrative of the Civil War through images.

Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton and Beyond: A Study of Motion and Time
26 record(s)
Created by: educator
Notes: How can we study motion imperceptible to the eye? How do we document the passing of time through images? Using the ground-breaking work of Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904), Harold Edgerton (1903-1990), and others they inspired, educators can explore these questions and more - and make connections to Science, Language Arts, Art, History, and Social Studies that can lead to projects involving photography, painting, writing, comics, flip books, and graphic novels.
