The grant was called "Picturing America" and included paintings by American artists and historical photographs. Upon recieving this we collaborated for an art/technology lesson based on a painting by George Catlin. Afterward we planned a field trip to the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC for a tour called Catlin's Quest. This was all done at the same time the 5th graders were studying Native Americans in social studies. It was by far the best field trip I had ever planned. Your blog seems to have a fair amount of art related content. Have you planned or worked with art teachers in your district? I would be interested in hearing ideas or collaborating in a history/art history lesson of some sort. If you'd like, I can send you my Catlin info an a link to the Picturing America website.

Some time back, I had listed thirteen American paintings that I love (although mistakenly it is posted as eight - http://tourmarm.blogspot.com/search/label/American%20Paintings.<br /><br />One of them is a Childe Hassam which holds a special place in my life; the painting entitled, Allies Day, May 1917, includes St. Thomas Episcopal Church on 5th Avenue and 53rd St. It's where I was confirmed and married!<br /><br />Happily, I can visit the painting often as it is hanging in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.<br /><br />I might put the visit on next year's Fourth of July agenda; I start at the National Archives and end up at the White House Ellipse for the fireworks!<br /><br />Thanks!The Tour Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701469966951623627noreply@blogger.com
