The Four Freedoms – a Kinetic Sculpture by Henry Loustau Four Freedoms A Kinetic Sculpture By Henry Loustau An Educational Packet for Kindergarten through Grade 8 Prepared by Linda Bouchey and the Roosevelt Institute This work by Henry Loustau captures the essence of the Four Freedoms and the meaning of American patriotism through the sculptor’s use of such familiar symbols as gold stars, bold stripes, and the incorporation of colors red, white and blue. The work’s use of the number four, and its reference to a wheelchair and a sail set in constant motion by the wind, recall the inspiring and heroic nature of Franklin D. Roosevelt – a man who, in spite of his own struggle with disability, lifted a paralyzed nation out of the despair of the Great Depression and led us to victory in the greatest conflict in history. i Henry Philippe Loustau Henry Philippe Loustau was born in West Virginia and grew up on a farm. Animals, rugged landscapes, tools and mechanical devices were a staple of his childhood. He studied fine art at Phillips Exeter Academy, Dartmouth College, Sir John Cass School of Art (London), and the University of Illinois. Loustau has taught art at colleges in Alabama, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Currently, he is on the faculty at West Chester University where he teaches drawing, painting and three-dimensional design. His wide range of interests have led to commissions for portraits, magazine covers, kinetic sculptures, set designs for theater, and exotic garden sculptures. His work is in numerous private, corporate, and museum collections. “The Four Freedoms” is a kinetic sculpture created by Henry Loustau and was unveiled at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in November of 2006. This sculpture will travel the world to encourage young people to appreciate the legacy of freedom as expressed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. To learn more about Henry Loustau visit his website at www.henryloustau.com . ii Thanks and Acknowledgments Much appreciation and thanks to the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, especially David Woolner, Executive Director of the Roosevelt Institute, for providing me the opportunity to develop this Four Freedoms Educational Packet based on “The Four Freedoms”, a kinetic sculpture by Henry Loustau. As the sculpture travels the world, this educational packet will aid teachers in encouraging young people to appreciate and want to learn more about the legacy of freedom as expressed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. My sincere gratitude and appreciation are extended to Carol Meissner, Megan Cirrincione, and Joseph Gasparini, who are former educational colleagues in the Hyde Park Central School District. They all generously provided support and collaboration by sharing their teaching knowledge and experience, particularly with young elementary students. Additional heartfelt thanks to Trish Maloney and Michael Mirchich whose computer knowledge and capabilities certainly exceed mine. Their patience and understanding aided in the completion of this project. iii Table of Contents Four Freedoms Kinetic Sculpture ........................................................................................ i Henry Philippe Loustau biography ..................................................................................... ii Thanks and Acknowledgments.......................................................................................... iii Table of Contents...............................................................................................................iv Note to Teachers ..................................................................................................................v Educational Packet for Kindergarten through Grade 8.................................................. 1-12 Appendix ....................................................................................................................13 American Flag........................................................................................................14 President Roosevelt in a wheelchair ......................................................................15 President Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms ...................................................................16 Post Activities for Individual Students Coloring Activity – Freedom of Speech ....................................................17 Coloring Activity – Freedom of Worship..................................................18 Coloring Activity – Freedom from Want...................................................19 Coloring Activity – Freedom from Fear ....................................................20 Grade K-3 Drawing Activity .....................................................................21 Grade K-3 Writing Activity.......................................................................22 Grade 4-6 Drawing Activity ......................................................................23 Grade 4-6 Writing Activity........................................................................24 Grade 7- 8 Writing Activity on Four Freedoms and the United States Constitution.......................................................25 Grade 7-8 Writing Activity on Four Freedoms Today ..............................26 iv Note to teachers The importance of the link between art and democracy was best articulated by Franklin D. Roosevelt on the eve of the Second World War, when he said: “The arts cannot thrive except where men are free to be themselves and to be in charge of the discipline of their own energies and ardors. The conditions for democracy and for art are one and the same. What we call liberty in politics results in freedom in the arts. There can be no vitality in the works gathered in a museum unless there exists the right of spontaneous life in the society in which the arts are nourished.” In line with President Roosevelt’s thoughts, this educational packet has been designed to accompany Henry Loustau’s “Four Freedoms” sculpture. The sculpture will travel the world to encourage young people in Kindergarten through Grade 8 to appreciate the legacy of freedom as expressed by President Roosevelt. Since there exist diverse academic and developmental abilities, as well as, regional and cultural differences in schools, the following is meant to be a generic educational packet. It is anticipated that teachers will take and adapt those aspects of the packet that suit their students. Additionally, depending on their local or state curriculum, it is hoped that teachers will use this packet as a springboard for their own creative ideas related to the teaching of patriotism and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms. In his 1941 State of the Union Address to Congress, President Roosevelt outlined his Four Freedoms: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom From Want and Freedom From Fear. v Educational Packet for Kindergarten through Grade 8 Four Freedoms – A Kinetic Sculpture by Henry Loustau Objectives: • Students will study and analyze the “Four Freedoms” sculpture created by Henry Loustau. • Students will appreciate and understand the meaning of American patriotism through the sculptor’s use of such familiar symbols such as gold stars, bold stripes and the incorporation of the colors red, white and blue. • Students will appreciate and understand the critical importance of the Four Freedoms that are outlined in President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s January 6,1941 State of the Union Address to Congress. These Four Freedoms are Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom From Want and Freedom From Fear. Roosevelt declared that these Four Freedoms should prevail ‘everywhere in the world’. (Note: This speech, which is known as the Four Freedoms Speech, was made almost a year before the bombing of Pearl Harbor (12/7/41) which brought America into World War II.) • Students will be inspired to learn more about Franklin Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms.

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • Historical Materials in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library
    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION April 2011 FOREWORD It seems to me that the dedication of a library is in itself an act of faith. To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. It must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgement in creating their own future. ...This latest addition to the archives of America is dedicated at a moment when government of the people by themselves is being attacked everywhere. It is, therefore, proof - if any proof is needed - that our confidence in the future of democracy has not diminished in this Nation and will not diminish. Franklin D. Roosevelt Remarks at the dedication of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. June 30, 1941 This is a list of holdings of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. Included are the President's personal and family papers, papers covering his public career at the state and national level, those of Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as those of many of his associates in public and private life. The Library, a gift to the American people from the President, had its beginnings in 1939 when Franklin Roosevelt turned over to the Government 16 acres of the family estate at Hyde Park.
