Civil War
20 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.
TEACHER GUIDES with information, curriculum connections, and project ideas are available from the education page of this website.

Photojournalism and Social Documentary Photography
10 record(s)
Created by: educator
Notes: How can images influence public opinion and inspire social change? What can we learn about the artist's intentions from the decisions that they make in picturing their subjects? How do these decisions affect the implied narrative of the image? Photographs and illustrations from the Addison's collection trace the history of photojournalism, and ask us to consider the relationship of objectivity to photojournalism and social documentary photography during events in US history and the effect of both the artists’ and viewers’ intentions on the implied narratives of an image.
