The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. When studying history, that couldn't be more true. In this class, we will delve into different iconic photographs that have rocked and shaped society. We will learn about the artist that captured the moment, the history of the picture - before, during, and after - and take a look at other similar pictures that aren't as famous. This class will delve into all aspects of history, from the good to the bad, happy to the sad, peaceful to the violent. I do ask that all learners and parents read the Parental Guidance statement below. Please message me if you have any questions.
