The Smithsonian American Art Museum is working to provide
great resources for teachers all over the country. We're
looking for 4th grade teachers to pilot our newest attempt.
We have created a website based on an artwork in our
collection that depicts the United States and encourages
students to relate their knowledge of state history in
creating their own state-specific collage. The site has had
a soft launch and we’re looking forward to seeding with
content from classes that have studied state history this
year! If you have a chance, please take a look, the web
address is:

It is a simple concept. An artist named Nam June Paik
created a video sculpture of the United States with neon
surrounding each state. The states are filled with his
representation in the form of single channel videos that are
played on televisions in each state. Students are asked to
create their own static collage of their state making
decisions about what they’d use to visually represent the
place they live based on what they have learned about their
home state.
I’d be honored if your classes would be some of the first
(and the very first in your state) to try it! If you have
questions or would like to know more, please email me

Could someone please help me think of a creative Math

I am looking for.
THANKS!
