Picturing America, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities, brings masterpieces of American art into classrooms and libraries nationwide. Through this innovative program, students and citizens can gain a deeper appreciation of our country's history and character through the study and understanding of its art.

Presenters Dr. Ronald Morris, Ball State University history professor, and Tania Said, curator of education, Ball State University Museum of Art, will focus on using art to teach American history and culture, and participants will exchange ideas and develop instructional strategies. Information about related resources available to teachers, students, and the public will also be shared.

Participants will receive a stipend of $75 to offset expenses. Lunch will be provided. Teachers can earn 2 CRUs.

Sponsored by the Indiana Humanities Council and the Ball State University Museum of Art. This workshop is funded in part by a "We the People" grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
