FRIDAY:  To Be Determined 

American Progress

Carefully study the painting "American Progress" 

• What’s going on in this painting?
• Which direction is everyone moving in the painting? Why? What does this represent?
• Only one group of people look back in this painting. Who is it, and why are they looking back?
• Who is the woman in the center? What is she doing? What is she holding? What might she symbolize?
• What is the meaning or message of this painting?
• What does this painting teach us about the people in 19th century America? 
• If you were a Native American, would you agree with the title of the painting, "American Progress?"  Why?  Why not? 

CLICK HERE.  Using the same procedure as above...

What's going on?  What do you see that makes you say that?
What are your thoughts as you look at this picture?  

How is the message of this picture different than "American Progress?"
