Situation of America, 1848

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students explore 19th century American artwork.  In this cross curriculum New York history and art appreciation lesson, students view a reproduction of the painting "Situation of America, 1848," and identify visual symbols and details  that depict information about the time period.  Students complete a graphic organizer with phrases and symbols that represent 19th century New York, and use this information as a basis for an original painting.
