Artists are some of the great observers of history. Whether it's with a canvas and brush or piece of stone and chisel or modelling clay, art has long depicted historical events, people, and movements. In this book, readers are introduced to using art as a primary source. Through interesting yet accessible text, this volume gives struggling readers both modern and history examples of how art can teach us about the past and the world around us. Accompanying photographs correlate with the text to aid comprehension, and a concluding activity encourages readers to find a piece of art to interpret!
