Visual Arts and History Resources

The documents and link below are intended as a resource to enhance the use of visual arts in social studies classrooms Kindergarten through the 8th grade. The ability to use images to construct an interpretation of what has happened in the past is a critical process in our discipline. The student’s ability to make inferences and draw conclusion based on evidence from the visual arts is an important lifelong skill.
