Picturing America Teacher Seminar

FAIN: BA-50009-08

Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia, PA 19101-7646)
Marla K Shoemaker (Project Director: April 2008 to April 2010)

A six-day teacher seminar that will explore the works of art in the NEH's Picturing America image set. Forty Philadelphia-area teachers whose schools have received the image set will have the opportunity to connect these select works of art--representing three centuries of our shared national heritage--to objects in the Museum's renowned American collections, and to cultural and historical institutions across the region.
