I am planning a project for 5/6/7th grade blended class on public
sculpture. We are going on a field trip to Washington. D.C. and I
wanted to study some the the sculpture beforehand. I found some
curriculum titled:
Public Sculpture / America's Legacy from the series America Past and
Present

by National Arts and Humanities Education Program, National Museum of
American Art - Smithsonian Institution

distributed by CrystalProductions P.O. Box 2159 Glenveiw. Il 60025
(800) 255-8629 - Fax: (708) 657-8149

I have looked it over and viewed the video. The video is great and
includes a variety of sculptures. It includes slides and 8 1/2" X11"
color prints.The study guide looks great, providing critical thinking
questions and projects.

Thanks for the web sites and I'm interested in any others you find out
about.
