Studying The Sixties

The best way to understand the sixties is to study the art forms that were a product of the sixties. Music, drawing, painting, photography, whatever it may be, are ways for any person to express themselves, find a voice or deliver a message. Each artist put a little (or big!) part of themselves into their work, making it personal, letting their audience into their experience of the world as they saw it and leaving a legacy behind them for future generations to do the same. By studying an artist's legacy, we can gain insight into how they saw the world, giving us a valuable tool into studying the big picture of the Sixties.
