Funny coincidence — coming so soon after my last post, yesterday, about “Picturing America” and “Adventures in Modern Art,” the National Endowment for the Humanities is just out now with its new Request for Proposals for School Collaboration projects with “Picturing America.” This time, the NEH wants:
proposals for local and regional projects that foster collaboration between K-12 educators and humanities scholars to encourage engagement with the rich resources of American art to tell America’s story. The Picturing America School Collaboration Projects grant opportunity is designed to help teachers and librarians whose schools display the Picturing America images form connections with courses in the core curriculum.
That generally means conferences where teachers who use “Picturing America” materials can trade ideas with scholars, museum professionals and library personnel about its use in teaching.
Here’s the link.
