Part E
1.) What do the contrasting examples of literature, art, and architecture in the colonial and early national periods tell you about the societies of their time?
2.) What clues do these illustrations give about the purpose or role of the arts in society?
3.) In the early nineteenth century, the nation tried to break from the British traditions in the arts and develop a distinctively national culture. List four specific ways that the writers, artists, and architects in this lesson strived to achieve the goal.
