  4. PAINTINGS • Select a piece of fine art that appeals to your senses. Research the artist, the date of the piece, and the medium. What does information about the artist, the medium, the subject, and the composition tell you about the prevailing attitudes and conditions of the time period? (For example, what symbolism is used? How is perspective used? In what roles are people portrayed? What is left out of the composition?)

  5. Max Schmitt in a Single Scull (Thomas Eakins, below, 1871, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY)

  6. "La Toilette" (Mary Cassatt,1891, Art Institute of Chicago)

  7. "McSorley's Bar" (Robert Henri, 1912, Detroit Institute of Art)

  8. Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (Marcel Duchamp, 1912, right, Philadelphia Museum of Art)

  9. Advertisments • Use old catalog pages to research fashion trends, household articles, cost of living, and lifestyles of a particular period. Use other sources of information to reconstruct a picture of family life at the time. Who did the household purchasing? What were considered necessities of the time? What were considered luxuries? How do the catalog pages highlight attitudes of the time? Use newspapers over time to analyze advertising. Have students research advertisements for a particular type of product (clothing, tools, household appliances, automobiles) through history. What information do the advertisements contain? What claims do they make? Who is the target buyer? How has advertising for this product changed over time? What social changes are reflected by changes in advertising for this product?

  18. Activity: “Analyzing Advertisements to Determine Cultural Values” Bring to class an assortment of ads from a current newspaper or magazine. Create transparencies of a couple of these ads as well as the table with questions that follows. As a group, use the questions to analyze the ad, filling in the transparency as you go. Repeat with another ad or two, allowing students ample time to think carefully about the ad’s message. Tell students you have collected ads from the early 20th century Progressive Era. Distribute ads included in this guide to pairs of students along with sheets containing the questions. Allow time for students to analyze the ads before presenting their findings to the class. Create a display of the ads along with students’ analyses.

  21. Music Have students search for events that have inspired lyrics in current popular music. Have students compare present day events and music to lyrics from the past inspired by historical events. What are the similarities and differences between present day and historical songs and the events that inspired them?

  22. What type of environment was this music written for, and who would have performed the piece? For what type of audience do you think this music was written/recorded? What is the tone or mood of the music? Describe your emotional response to the music. List two things the music tells you about the following topics? -American History -Society -Culture Read or listen to the lyrics and write a paragraph describing what the performer/author is trying to say to his/her audience. Write anotherverse for the song that explains how things have progressed, or digressed, since the song was first written. *Can also be tailored to fit any sound recording, including plays*
