Note to teachers and Students: Analyze works of art as lenses through which we can glimpse aspects of the American character, the hopes, fears and aspirations and also the problems, absences, contradictions between ideals and realities Images, architecture, sculpture made by artists often inscribe our beliefs, our dreams, our mistakes; How these multicultural contributions and ideas have informed the visual arts can be readily seen in images:

The Shot Heard 'Round the World’ by Domenick D'Andrea
Some pictures depicted herein are from the Heritage Series web site listed below. The site also contains information on each painting.http://www.ng.mil/resources/photo_gallery/heritage/concord_bridge.html
The Concord HymnRalph Waldo Emerson (1837)
By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;Here once the embattled farmers stood;
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps,
And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream that seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream, We place with joy a votive stone,
That memory may their deeds redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
O Thou who made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, --
Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raised to them and Thee.
