We are developing materials to assist K-12 American History and Social Studies teachers to utilize great works of art from the former Warner Collection available on this website to better teach U.S. History in the classroom. Each month, we will feature a new painting and provide historical information that will help teachers utilize the image to teach visual literacy skills while engaging students in conversation and critical thinking about important themes in American History. These lesson plans will help teachers integrate the study of History with the study of art. We will also be inviting a current teacher to contribute additional historical information that can be used to enrich the lesson plan.
