Picturing America, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities, is a great tool for all teachers!  These high-quality reproductions of American art can be used in a variety of ways in any classroom or child care setting. This one-day program for teachers of children ages 0 - 18 will offer innovative ways to use visual images from Picturing America and Maine’s local art collections to teach critical thinking skills, visual and verbal literacy and American culture.  If you are new to Picturing America, or are already familiar with it, this program will help you expand your knowledge.

The program will be held on October 28, 2011 at the Bangor campus of the University of Maine, Augusta, and at the University of Maine Museum in downtown Bangor.
