Painted Pilgrims: A Curriculum Unit for Grades 6-12
Description:
In this lesson, students explore portraits for insights into the sitter’s character and life. After an introduction to the nuances of portraiture, called What Is a Portrait?, students examine four 17th century portraits from the collections of Pilgrim Hall Museum. They then compare and contrast these 17th century portraits with portraits from other eras. Finally, students use the insights they have gained as inspiration for the creation of a self-portrait.
