Case 11 Marie Antionette's Artist Vigee Le Brun

This worksheet and PowerPoint Presentation are to supplement the podcast History Detective. Case 11: Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun, Marie Antionette's Artist, looks at the French Revolution and the experiences of an artist in this time. One of the focus skills for the lesson is implicit meanings of sources, but students will also build vocabulary, evaluate sources for reliability and usefulness, engage with the historical concepts of context, perspective, motive, explicit meaning, audience and context.
