Why Analyze Images? It allows students to work with primary sources in a non-traditional way. Primary sources include historical and legal documents, eyewitness accounts, results of experiments, statistical data, pieces of creative writing, audio and video recordings, photographs, speeches, and art objects. https://library.ithaca.edu/sp/subjects/primary

Why Analyze Images? It gives students the opportunity to establish, modify and validate their own perceptions Perception is the awareness of something through the senses. In other words, it's the ability to see, hear, understand or become aware of something. Perception is important due to the following reasons: It's a physiological process through which everything in this world is interpreted and understood. https://www.quora.com/What-is-perception-and-why-is-it-important

Why Analyze Images? It enables students to develop their sense of observation, encourages them to formulate questions and make interpretations, and sharpens their critical faculties. Interpretation is the action of explaining the meaning of something. In other words, it's the ability to communicate process and define meaning and relationships. http://www.heritageinterp.com/whatis.htm
