SUMMARY:America 250 - Early American Art: 17th to Early 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Art educator Laura Nicholls explores the origins of American vi
 sual art\, tracing its earliest roots to Indigenous and Spanish Colonial t
 raditions. During the Colonial era leading up to the American Revolution\,
  artists often followed European styles\, creating portraits and landscape
 s that reflected wealth\, land ownership\, and social status. After indepe
 ndence in 1776\, art took on a new role in the United States. Artists help
 ed define the identity of a young nation by portraying its early leaders a
 nd using visual storytelling to share a collective history and sense of pu
 rpose.\n\nNotable artists of the period include:\nPaul Revere\; Gilbert St
 uart\; John Singleton Copley\; John Trumbull\; Benjamin West\; Joshua John
 son\; Thomas Sully\; Charles Willson Peale\; Rembrandt Peale\; Washington 
 Allston.
