Key Points—themes & ideas central to lesson and artwork
A person’s identity usually relates to the situation in which the person lives—the context, the values, the current and previous events.You can interpret a person’s identity through how they look and what they do.A portrait is a way of presenting someone’s identity. Just as a writer uses words to communicate what is important to know about the person, a painter uses pose, props, clothing, and techniques of art to communicate that person’s identity as the artist wants you to understand it.

Synthesis/Assessment
How students interpret American art based on readings and researchStudents interpret the painting and then identify how to interpret a painting. Then they apply those same abilities to interpret a poem and another portrait.
How students respond to works of American art through their own creative efforts Students create their own works of American art---their own character portraits.
