2008 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities

200808 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2008 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. At the White House in February, I joined President Bush and Mrs. Bush to launch the largest and most ambitious nationwide initiative in NEH’s history: Picturing America, the newest element of our We the People program. Through Picturing America, NEH is distributing forty reproductions of American art masterpieces to schools and public libraries nationwide—where they will help stu- dents of all ages connect with the people, places, events, and ideas that have shaped our country. The selected works of art represent a broad range of American history and artistic achieve- ment, including Emanuel Leutze’s painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware; Mary Cassatt’s The Boating Party; the Chrysler Building in New York City; Norman Rockwell’s iconic Freedom of Speech; and James Karales’s stunning photo of the Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965. Accompanying the reproductions are a teacher’s guide and a dynamic website with ideas for using the images in the study of American history, literature, civics, and other subjects. During the first round of applications for Picturing America awards in the spring of 2008, nearly one-fifth of all the schools and public libraries in America applied for the program. In the fall, the first Picturing America sets arrived at more than 26,000 institutions nationwide, and we opened a second application window for Picturing America awards that will be distributed in 2009.

K Leida Harlem Renaissance Artists DTI First Draft 11 05 13.Docx

Art in a Nation of Change – Visual Artists Influenced by the Harlem Renaissance Kristen L. Leida Introduction In the long history of the struggle for civil rights for African-Americans in the United States arose communities of artists during the early 20th century. In many areas shaped by ‘The Great Migration’ including Harlem, visual and performing artists flourished. My unit is comprised of artists who were inspired by and whose success grew as a result of the ‘Harlem Renaissance’. The lives of these visual artists were impacted by ‘The Great Migration’, their subject matter is derived from the experiences of African Americans and their artistic style was influenced by the viewpoint of the popularity of art in Harlem. As stated in Mike Venezia’s book, painter Jacob Lawrence chose the subjects he painted because “African-American history was hardly ever taught in schools when Jacob Lawrence was young. Jacob thought this was a serious problem. He knew that people who didn’t know about their history had no way of feeling proud of their past or of themselves.”1 Regardless of the school population’s characteristics, I believe it is important to incorporate art created from all races, genders and religions in the art program. As an Art teacher in a multi-cultural school, it’s critical for me to teach artists that reflect the diverse population to give the students a sense of origin, understanding and self-importance. The 2013-14 school year is my 9th in the Colonial School District and my 5th at Harry O. Eisenberg Elementary School (‘Eisenberg’).
