  • Follows most national Social Studies standards
  • Prepares students for high stakes testing
  • High-interest and curriculum-related subject areas

    The books in this series explain how these six remarkable cultures gave birth to painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and different kinds of literature. From Ancient Egypt to achievements up to the present day by African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and Islamic peoples, discover their marvelous accomplishments in the arts. Breathtaking color photographs of sites and artifacts make history come to dazzling life!

...there’s more than enough to hook both students and browsers. Nichols moves through U.S. History apace, but stops long enough in each era to introduce some of its most important black artists–Scott Joplin, Zora Neal Hurston, Duke Ellington, William Johnson–and put them into the historical context of what was affecting art at th time–for example, the Harlem Renaissance and the WPA projects. The reproduction on the glossy, heavily illustrated pages are particularly good.
