What is an example of a primary source?

A textbook
A journal article
A painting
An encyclopedia

The correct answer is: A painting

A textbook is not a primary source as it is a secondary source that compiles information from various primary sources. A journal article can be a primary source if it reports on original research, but it can also be a secondary source if it analyzes and synthesizes information from other primary sources. An encyclopedia is also a secondary source as it provides information collected from various primary sources. A painting, on the other hand, is a primary source as it is an original piece of artwork created by the artist and can provide insight into the time period, culture, and perspective of the artist. It is a firsthand account of the subject matter depicted.
