Picturing America

A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities has presented us with a resource to strengthen the teaching, study and understanding of America’s history and founding principles. To promote this goal, Picturing America brings some of our nation’s most significant images into classrooms nationwide.  It offers a way to understand the history of America-its diverse people and places, its travails and triumphs-through some of our greatest artistic masterpieces.

Please enjoy the posters (front and back) that will be hung in our hallways, and feel free to use them in your classrooms. Included in the program is a teachers resource book, a copy of which will be available in the front office. Links to additional resources include relevant lesson plans on www.EDSITEment.neh.gov and http://picturingamerica.neh.gov/.
