Session+8

8.1: Opener 1). Where did you start your drawing? Why? ﻿I think it was to show what cought our eye first. I think that the first thing that we drew was, for some reasson to us, the most important thing on the drawring.

//2). What details did you notice in this picture through trying to draw them yourself?// ﻿The first thing that really seemed important to me was the building off to the right with the sighn "Butcher's Hall" on it. Starting with the buildings was an easy way to start the assignment as well. I think that knowing the location of an event is just as important as knowing what caused them to happen.

//3). How does this compare to an "I see/It means" activity? What is similar and different? // This assignment makes us look a little bit closer to the image. It forces us to pay more attention to detail.

//4). Identify bias in this picture. //

This picture seems to be from the point of viewof the colonist. It looks as if the British soldiers are attacking innocent civilians.

//5). Which do you prefer: drawing an historical picture or summarizing in words what you see? Why? // ﻿I think that drawring the same image helps you look at detail. It seems more entertaining as well. It will keep you looking and analysing each and every step of the way.

﻿8.2: Bias in Pictures- Comparison Image two looks like it is at night because you can see the moon in the background. Image number one seems to be around the afternoon. Image two makes the British soldiers look as if they where defending themselves. Their guns are pointed up rather than at the patriots. In image one, their are more wounded to the left than on the right. The colonist look to be fighting or teasing the British soldiers. Here, in image two, it looks like it is their fault or their the porovocers. Image one makes the colonist look inocent. Image one shows Captain Preston in the background giving orders to attack. In the second image, He appears to be defending himself with his gun.
