US Students Visit National Portrait Gallery
On Tuesday, students in Advanced United States History visited the National Portrait Gallery to see part of the permanent collection exhibit titled, Out of Many; Portraits from 1600 to 1900. Students examined the artist's choices about how the subject was portrayed and analyzed the museum curators' descriptions of the paintings. The knowledge gained from this experience will be applied to a unit project later this winter when students design their museum exhibits about American experiences during the Civil War. Students will choose what to include in their exhibit and how to frame those items in a historical context. The trip was a great reminder of the many museum opportunities we have in our area.
