Just to reiterate, here is an article explaining the the necessity for a strong skillset surrounding imagery and attention to detail in the English classroom.  This is a good read for both parents and students who just completed the Details: Art Replication Project, and will be good to revisit next year for AP English 11 where the use of images in conjunction with the literary sources will expand in both scope and depth.

P.S. If you didn't notice the use of "the" twice in a row in the first sentence, you weren't paying enough attention to detail.
