Studying the context of the 19th Century.

If you have an interest or will be studying the 19th Century in the near future, a site that may be of good reference to you would be Victoria Web. I used this site when I studied my Extension English core unit "Individual and Society" in the 19th century and it is extremely helpful contextually. It features an overview of the many events, significant values and individuals of the time which may be of some interest to you. This is the link: http://www.victorianweb.org/

Hope you learn something new.

Visual stimulus for Year Nine students.

This artwork is Le Due Frida by Frida Kahlo. I used this image as a related text for 'Changing Perspectives' area of study a few years ago and it will be great if you could all annotate the image and find FIVE techniques to discuss. It might be a bit helpful to look up the context of this artwork to assist you. It is extremely visual so keep in mind why the composer might have used this device to create meaning. Please have this completed by Saturday 22/08/09 and sign off in the comments section.
