Architecture
Thomas Jefferson's Architecture consisted mostly of octagonal shapes, columns, and brick. The octagonal shapes had a tendency to be where the entrance is or the roof. In almost all of his buildings he put columns in. Finally Jefferson used brick. All three of these characteristics can be seen in Poplar Forest.

Monticello shows these characteristics by the whole outside being created in red brick, having four columns at the entrance, and having an octagonal roof. University of Virginia's buildings that Jefferson built, all have red brick, columns, and octagonal shapes. Some differences between Georgian Architecture and Jefferson Architecture are, Georgian is more built more flat and square unlike Jefferson's Architecture which was built in an octagonal shape. The Georgian Architecture also had more windows and had a tendency not to have columns unlike the Jefferson's Architecture.

Genre Artists
<p>Genre artists were artists (such as William Sidney Mount or John Quidor) that painted people doing everyday activities in the United States, illustrating the daily lives of different people. These contribute to the idea of nationalism by presenting how the Americans have established their own unique culture and displaying an appreciation for different types of people. These works of art also suggest the idea of liberty and free will in the United States, as each person is free to live their life the way they choose and be able to sustain themselves.</p>
