Shifting Views of America
Create a timeline of 7-12 milestones in art and architecture that illustrate the transition from the Gilded Age to the era of the Ashcan artists. Each work selected for your milestones must be accompanied by a 90- to 175-word description addressing the following:
- How is your milestone reflective of society of the late 19th century?
- How is your selected work representative of either the Gilded Age, or the early modernist era as embodied by the Ashcan School?
- What is the subject or theme of your selected work? How is this theme representative of American society?
