Using art work of the Amon Carter Museum students enhanced their knowledge of the Native American Tribes of the Great Planes. Divided into five groups, the students analyzed reproductions of art work from the museum as broke them into themes. The students identified specific images from each painting to help define the theme of the painting and to learn more about the tribes culture.
The Amon Carter Museum out of Fort Worth Texas did an excellent job with their program. I would recommend this content provide to other schools. The Connect to Texas group made the connection easy and were very helpful during scheduling the program at a time convenient to our classroom teachers.
