American Genre Painting in the Nineteenth Century: Teaching Artistic Interpretation as a Tool for Critically Viewing History
High schoolers view a variety of artwork to determine the history and lifestyle of people from New Haven, Connecticut.

They end the lesson by creating their own piece of art on a topic they are interested in.
