American Image
Activities offered on this website guide users through an in-depth examination of visual media. Active Looking encourages the process of close examination of photographs. Users will become more proficient at analyzing and decoding images for information – who might have created them, within what context, using what tools and for what purpose. The Shooting Script explores how an image may be categorized with regards to its subject matter and how our definitions and understanding of these subjects can change over time. The Propaganda Filmmaker brings it all together by allowing users to combine photographs, text, audio and video to create their own video mashup. Our goal is that these activities will build and hone observation skills that can then be used on visual images everywhere, in print and on screen.

After the iMovie, they will continue the lesson by doing a Webquest on the Ethics of the Atomic Bomb.
