Cover Art: The Time Magazine Collection - National Portrait Gallery
Grades
9 to 12
tag(s): famous people (35), news (220)
In the Classroom
This site would be useful in a Art History or US government class studying the impact of the media on politics. Have students explore the site on the interactive whiteboard, allowing them to be hands on with the material - avoid being the Vanna White of the board! As students are navigating the site, focus their attention on how many presidents and political figures are featured - as evidenced on the link entitled "Most Featured Person." This could lead into a great discussion of how exposure can affect politicians, as well as the difference between good and bad press.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Bound for Glory: America in Color - Library of Congress
Grades
8 to 12tag(s): 1930s (40), 1940s (68), 20th century (168), great depression (31), images (256), photography (129)
In the Classroom
It's interesting how viewing the images in color makes the viewer feel as though the Great Depression was something far more recent - perhaps due to the dated feeling of black and white images. In a discussion of the Great Depression, spend some time comparing these images and the traditional black and white images on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Ask students about the differences and if one is more revealing or not. This can also lead into a discussion on the reliability of primary sources and the effects of seeing something rather than reading it.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Olga's Gallery
Grades
8 to 12tag(s): literature (208)
In the Classroom
Use the "World Literature in Painting," to find images to accompany your study of a piece of literature. The images hosted here are small, but the descriptions are descriptive and provide some excellent background on the art and literature. Find larger copies of the image elsewhere, and use them over the interactive whiteboard or projector to introduce interpretations of a piece of writing. Bare minimum, this would be a great way to show the impact the writing had on the culture.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
