Picturing America is a K-12 teaching tool created by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The tool consists of 40 art-historic images of paintings, sculpture, drawings, decorative objects and architecture that represent several centuries of U.S. history. Used singly, chronologically or thematically, the images provide gateways to cross-curriculum learning in social studies, history, writing, literature, geography, civics, and other subjects.
The first deadline for public and private schools, public libraries and homeschooling consortiums to apply for the Picturing America package (printed images and lesson plans) has passed; a second will open in August of 2008. Individual homeschooling families and autodidacts, while not eligible, can take heart. Thanks to the generosity of the NEH, all 40 images are here for you, and each is accompanied by a link to its archived lesson plan at the Picturing America website.
