Art & Design - Urban Landscape Research; Sources.

There are different kinds of sources in art, they can be documented in many different ways also, so here's a brief explanation of them.

Primary Sources:

Primary Sources are basically a firsthand account of something, may it be an event, location etc. These can be recorded in different ways, whether they're documented in writing or in images - to be Primary they must be documented in some way by the witness to the event, location etc.

Secondary Sources:

A Secondary Source is therefore something that wasn't witnessed by the person using the source, it's simply becomes their interpretation of someone else's primary source. Secondary sources often include pictures, quotes or graphics that have taken and interpreted by someone else.

My Primary Sources:

These are some images I documented on route to college one evening, these are evidence of my ability to identify and record my own primary sources.

Secondary Sources:

Here's some images I found while researching urban landscapes, these were documented by someone else therefore they're classed as secondary sources.
