Ways of Seeing

Creina Mansfield and Alan Sennett

‘Seeing comes before words’ (John Berger). Some images are so powerful they have become indelibly associated with the event depicted. They may be catalysts for artistic creation (including propaganda) and criticism as well as subjects of historical research. But as with all primary source material, the evidence does not ‘speak for itself’; it requires contextualisation and interpretation to uncover meaning and significance. Each day school begins with an examination of an iconic image and develops into a full exploration of our subjects, which are:
British Fascism, The Civil Rights Movement, and The Vietnam War.
