About Picture Sets

Picture Sets is a searchable collection of carefully selected sets of drawings, photographs and paintings. The sets can be used:

  • as information sources, obtained in a critically thoughtful way, about topics in social studies
    and science.
  • as a context for developing critical thinking tools that are particularly useful with visual stimulation and also applicable generally.

  • Using Picture Sets: general suggestions to support inquiry teaching using visual sources.
