National Endowment For The Humanities
Category: Arts & Culture
DescriptionThe Endowment’s Picturing America School Collaboration Projects invites proposals for local and regional projects that foster collaboration between K-12 teachers and humanities scholars using the resources of American art to tell America’s story. Grants are designed to help teachers incorporate Picturing America images into their teaching of core subjects. The images in Picturing America reflect a variety of media spanning several centuries and will help students better understand America’s diverse people and places and connect them to the nation’s trials and triumphs. One of the grant’s goals is to strengthen understanding of the connections between great works of American art and significant events, themes, and topics in the American experience. Grants are also expected to encourage local and regional collaboration between K-12 teachers and humanities experts who can bring appropriate knowledge to the integration of American artworks in core subjects. Other funding goals include fostering discussion of how to use Picturing America images among K-12 teachers in a local area or region and providing access to rich scholarly resources and primary materials that support teaching. Funded projects should support one or more conferences of one to two days each; accommodate at each conference 30 to 100 or more participants, all of whom already have access to the Picturing America portfolio; and provide opportunities for teachers to engage with scholars, museum, and library professionals and other experts. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
