Overview:
Picturing America is a free initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities that helps teach American history and culture by bringing some of the country's great art directly to classrooms and libraries.  This webinar demonstrates how the visual arts are an effective tool in teaching history and how educators and arts professionals can extend and expand upon the initiative in their own communities.
