Sneaking off to the museum

I was in Saint Louis last week to visit my dad, and found time to visit the SLAM. I needed to gather more image resources because I felt I was running on empty, and the internet can only take you so far. This is what I found---

 

Edwin Landseer, Attachment, 1829

I realized as I VTSed this image with one of my classes that this had been a choice made based on personal meaning. But it is still a great image, because it was easy for students (non-focus group) to humanize animals, and the first class got the meaning right away.

I went into the photography exhibit and was reminded of a narrative photographer, Gregory Crewdson. A lot of his work isn't right for elementary school, but his work led me to others I remembered from a couple of years ago.
