  • Art History High School Self-Guide
    Art History High School Self-Guide We are surrounded by portraits every day—from those on the dollar bills and coins in our wallets to the selfies found in social media and the photographs of our loved ones. Historically, portraiture was an important symbol of power and wealth. Now, readily reproducible and ever-more accessible through photography and modern printing techniques, portraiture has become democratic. This guide will help you and your students think about how we perceive and commemorate people from our history and will ask you to consider how portraiture has changed and remained the same over the past two centuries using highlights from the National Portrait Gallery’s collection. Take a map from one of the Visitor Services desk. Begin in American Origins on the first floor and take a close look at the self-portraits that were created in the nation’s early years, when the influence of European culture mingled with the spirit of the country’s recent independence. On the second floor, explore America’s Presidents and note how the depictions of our nation’s leaders have evolved over time. In 20th-Century Americans, on the third floor, you will find portraits in all mediums: prints, photographs, sculptures, painting and more. READING PORTRAITURE The prompts below will help you encourage your students to “read” a portrait before reading the museum label or other sources. They can also be used as a springboard for broader conversa- tions about art, history, and biography. 1. Start by having your students identify the specific choices that artists make when they create portraits.

  • Selected Highlights of Women's History
    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally. With this edition, as the PCSW celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1973, we invite you to explore the many ways women have shaped, and continue to shape, our state. Edited and designed by Christine Palm, Communications Director This project was originally created under the direction of Barbara Potopowitz with assistance from Christa Allard. It was updated on the following dates by PCSW’s interns: January, 2003 by Melissa Griswold, Salem College February, 2004 by Nicole Graf, University of Connecticut February, 2005 by Sarah Hoyle, Trinity College November, 2005 by Elizabeth Silverio, St. Joseph’s College July, 2006 by Allison Bloom, Vassar College August, 2007 by Michelle Hodge, Smith College January, 2013 by Andrea Sanders, University of Connecticut Information contained in this book was culled from many sources, including (but not limited to): The Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame, the U.S.

  • Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief
    Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief (later changed to Tallchief) was born in Oklahoma in 1925. Her father was Osage Native American and her mother of Scotch-Irish descent. It had been an unrealized dream of her mom to study dance and music, so Maria and her sister Marjorie were enrolled early in dance and piano lessons. Maria was only three years old when she began dance classes. It wasn’t long before Maria and Marjorie were performing at local rodeos. When she was eight, Maria’s family moved to California with the hope finding an opportunity for the girls in show business. Her mother asked a pharmacist for a recommendation for a dance teacher and was referred to Ernest Belcher, who was Marge Champion’s father. Maria soon moved on to more noted classical teachers of dance, but was also continuing to study piano and saw herself as having a career as a classical pianist. However, she continued with dance and at 17 went to New York looking for a way into the classical world of dance. Tallchief was soon offered a place with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo where she performed for five years. It was there that she met George Balanchine. She eventually married Balanchine and returned to New York. Balanchine had just founded the New York City Ballet and Maria became its first prima ballerina. She was the first American woman and the first Native American to be recognized world wide as a prima ballerina. She was the first American invited to dance with the Bolshoi.

  • Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021
    6809 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 86, No. 13 Friday, January 22, 2021 Title 3— Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021 The President Building the National Garden of American Heroes By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Background. In Executive Order 13934 of July 3, 2020 (Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes), I made it the policy of the United States to establish a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden). To begin the process of building this new monument to our country’s greatness, I established the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes (Task Force) and directed its members to plan for construction of the National Garden. The Task Force has advised me it has completed the first phase of its work and is prepared to move forward. This order revises Executive Order 13934 and provides additional direction for the Task Force. Sec. 2. Purpose. The chronicles of our history show that America is a land of heroes. As I announced during my address at Mount Rushmore, the gates of a beautiful new garden will soon open to the public where the legends of America’s past will be remembered. The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism. It will be a place where citizens, young and old, can renew their vision of greatness and take up the challenge that I gave every American in my first address to Congress, to ‘‘[b]elieve in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe, once more, in America.’’ Across this Nation, belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity.

  • TOUCHING the EARTH to OUR ANCESTORS Expanded Version By
    TOUCHING THE EARTH TO OUR ANCESTORS Expanded Version by the Plum Village Fourfold Sangha In gratitude I bow to this land and to all of the ancestors who made it available. (Bell, all touch the earth). I see that I am whole, protected, and nourished by this land and all of the living beings that have been here and made life easy and possible for me through all their efforts. I see all those known and unknown who have made this country a refuge for people of so many origins and colors, by their talent, perseverance, and love—those who have worked hard to build schools, hospitals, bridges, and roads; to protect human rights; to develop science and technology; and to fight for freedom and social justice. (Bell, all stand up. Take three breaths.) I touch my African American and descendant ancestors, you who were enslaved and brought to this land, who poured your blood, sweat, and tears on this land, whose unrewarded labor helped make this country an economic world power. (Bell, all touch the earth). I am in touch with the crippling violence and inhumanity that my African American ancestors faced every day, the loss of your land, language, culture, family, and freedom, and how you al- ways found ways to resist, to subvert oppression, to maintain your humanity, through soulful singing, prayer, humor, slave revolts, communities of escaped slaves, as well as through political struggle, a strong commitment to education, and economic empowerment. I aspire to pre- serve, nourish, and pass on your strength, patience, perseverance, love, forgiveness, humility, your creativity and innovation in agriculture, inventions, history, music, dance, art, the sciences, sports, oratory, literature, religion, civil and human rights activism, and community spirit.
