National Teachers of the Year 2016
Step inside the Renwick's Wonder-filled, room-sized sculptures for a workshop focused on inspiring meaningful student inquiry. Explore artworks that pique your curiosity. Peel back their layered meanings to discover how humble, workaday materials build bridges to issues of global significance. Meet the mastermind behind Wonder, curator Nicholas Bell. Collaborate with other educators: how can you integrate visual thinking routines, environmental themes, and artists’ creative approaches into your curriculum? Learn by doing: no prior knowledge of art required.
This collection was created to support the 2016 CCSSO Teachers of the Year Day at the Smithsonian.

Telling a More Complete History
<p><a href="https://americanart.si.edu/artist/george-catlin-782" target="_blank">George Catlin</a>’s paintings of American Indians seem to capture the different ways of life of Native Americans in the 1830s. Incorporating them into your classroom activities can be a tempting way to check the “analyze primary sources” box while also checking the “art integration” box. But whose stories and values are actually represented in these works? How might we tell more complete narratives in our classrooms to share multiple perspectives and gain a more nuanced and authentic understanding of this time and the peoples represented? NMAI’s Native Knowledge 360⁰ online lesson provides perspectives from Native American community members, documents, maps, images, and activities to help students and teachers understand an important and difficult chapter in the history both of Native Nations and the United States. Renée Gokey (Citizen of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma), NMAI Teacher Services Coordinator, will co-facilitate.</p>
<p>Please note: this is for teachers of all grades and subjects.</p>

The Kentucky Bicentennial Photographic Project
<p>This collection offers a subset of a larger photographic survey that documented the Louisville, KY area in 1976. These photographs were taken as part of a wider program of photography surveys sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts to celebrate the bicentennial of founding of the United States.</p>
<p><strong><u><br>Background</u>:</strong></p>
<p>In 1975, Congress considered a proposal by senator Walter Mondale to authorize funds for the American Bicentennial Photography and Film Project (ABPFP). In the proposal, Mondale referred to the epic documentary photography program undertaken by the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression. Building on its legacy, the ABPFP would create a new visual record of the United States during the Bicentennial celebration of American independence. </p>
<p>Mondale’s proposal was passed by Congress, but without the appropriation of funds. The NEA stepped forward, adding a Bicentennial State Film Projects category under its Public Media grants, and a Photography Surveys category under Visual Arts. The impact was transformative. Federal patronage was the single most important factor in the growth of American photography in the 1970s. The Photography Surveys grants were a central component of the NEA’s success. </p>
<p>Between 1975 and 1981, a total of 219 photographers conducted 69 individual surveys in 30 states and 55 cities.</p>
<p>The Smithsonian American Art Museum holds 13 of these surveys:</p>
