[] “Picturing America is an initiative from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Through this innovative program, students and citizens will gain a deeper appreciation of our country’s history and character through the study and understanding of its art. Picturing America gives participants the opportunity to learn about our nation’s history and culture in a fresh and engaging way. The program uses art as a catalyst for the study of America—the cultural, political, and historical threads woven into our nation’s fabric over time. Collectively, the masterpieces in Picturing America//, //used in conjunction with the Teachers Resource Book and program Web site, help students experience the humanity of history and enhance the teaching and understanding of America’s past.”
