Using contemporary sources this is a visual source-based exercise ideal for use with a digital projector in the classroom. Group-work questions and guidance are included.

The site would be particularly appropriate for students in rural communities but might require some additional information about farming methods for city children.
Comments::
A useful but slightly limited site easily accessible to art teachers and students as a starting point for further study through other websites or projects.
