  3. Clio’s Web is a Seamless Garment Clio means “proclaimer” & she is the Greek muse of history. The expression above suggests that the fabric of history is a unified whole in which everything is tied or related to everything else. The historian is left with the dilemma of where to cut into that fabric to tell the story. Many of the TEA standards on culture, citizenship, government, economics, & geography present that very challenge. The broad, general standards like the present one present the nigh impossible task of selecting representative examples. Welcome to class Clio! Nevertheless . . . here are a few that hopefully will prepare you for the upcoming STAAR exam regarding Supporting Standard 25 A.

  4. Supporting Standard (25)The student understands the relationship between the arts and the times during which they were created. The Student is expected to: (A) 1 Describe how the characteristics & issues in U. S. history have been reflected in various genres of art Ansel Adams Mathew Brady

  5. Mathew Brady, 1822-1896 Mathew B. Brady was one of the most celebrated 19th-centuryAmerican photographer, best known for his portraits of celebrities and his documentation of the American Civil War. He is credited with being the father of photojournalism. Brady’s May 16, 1861 Lincoln Photo . . . and in Feb. 1865

  6. Ansel Adams, 1902-1984 Ansel Adams was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-&-white landscape photos of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books. With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams primarily used large-format cameras because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.

  7. Supporting Standard (25)The student understands the relationship between the arts and the times during which they were created. The Student is expected to: (A) 2 Describe how the characteristics & issues in U. S. history have been reflected in various genres of music Steven Foster Rogers & Hammerstein Elvis Presley

  8. Stephen Foster, 1826-1864 Stephen Foster , known as the “father of American music,” was an American songwriter primarily known for his parlor and minstrel music. Foster wrote over 200 songs reflecting the spirit and concerns of mid-19th century America. Among his best-known are “Oh! Susanna,” “Camptown Races,” “Old Folks at Home,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” and “Beautiful Dreamer.” Many of his compositions remain popular more than 150 years after he wrote them.

  9. Jazz Music of the 1920s Jazz is a music genre that originated at the beginning of the 20th century, arguably earlier, within the African-American communities of the Southern United States. Its roots lie in the combining by African-Americans of certain European harmony and form elements, with their existing African-based music. Its African musical basis is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note. The loosely structured nature of this musical style mirrored the free & easy lifestyle lived by many urban Americans of this period.

  10. Rodgers & Hammerstein, 1940s & 50s Their plays reflect the character, norms, & values of the period Richard Rodgers (1902–1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960) were an influential, innovative and successful American musical theatre writing team, usually referred to as Rodgers and Hammerstein. They created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, initiating what is considered the “golden age” of musical theatre. With Rodgers composing the music and Hammerstein writing the lyrics, five of their Broadway shows, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music, were outstanding successes, as was the television broadcast of Cinderella. Among the many accolades their shows (and film versions) garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and two Grammy Awards.

  11. Elvis Presley, 1935-1977 Elvis Presley was an American singer, musician, and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as “the King of Rock and Roll,” or simply, “the King.” Presley reflected an America undergoing cultural movement and change through his high energy level, instincts, gyrating movement onstage, and combination & blending of rhythm and blues, African-American jazz, country forms of music.

  12. 1776, the Musical 1776 is a musical with music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone. The story is based on the events surrounding the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It focuses on, and partly fictionalizes, the efforts of John Adams to persuade his colleagues to vote for American independence and to sign the document. It premiered on Broadway in 1969, earning warm reviews, and ran for 1,217 performances. The production was nominated for five Tony Awards and won three, including the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical was revived on Broadway in 1997.

  13. Supporting Standard (25)The student understands the relationship between the arts and the times during which they were created. The Student is expected to: (A) 3 Describe how the characteristics & issues in U. S. history have been reflected in various genres of film 1998 And the evolving American perception of & attitude about U. S. involvement in war 1962 1989 1960

  14. Perception of Vietnam The Vietnam War has been the subject of many films. One of the first major films based on the Vietnam War was John Wayne’s The Green Berets (1968). Further cinematic representations were released during the 1970s and 1980s, including Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter (1978),Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979), Oliver Stone’s Platoon (1986)— based on his service in the U.S. Military during the Vietnam War, Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket (1987), Hamburger Hill (1987) and Casualties of War (1989). Later films would include We Were Soldiers (2002) and Rescue Dawn (2007). Today, the viewpoint of many Americans regarding the Vietnam War often reflects the common perception shared by most Americans born after the war, a perception powerfully shaped by such movies. Some argue that the depiction of the Vietnamese in American war films is woefully stereotyped. Vietnamese civilians are usually shown as passive victims, prostitutes, or conniving with the enemy, while North Vietnamese or NLF guerilla fighters are frequently drawn as cruel torturers or effeminate cowards, and the ARVN are described as incompetent.” The ideology of such films speaks of several basic and widespread public attitudes towards the war.

  15. The Contrast Television in the 1950s The programming offered to the post-World War II painted a wonderful, idealistic, but often inaccurate of the model American family as it existed in the American mind. • Patriarchal 1950s nuclear family vs. family patriarch (Jay) still locked into 1950s values • Faithful husband-wife unions vs. passionate trophy wife (Gloria) from Columbia & nerdy stepson • Father knows best vs. Bumbling doofus Dumfries Daddy (Phil) • Subordinate, dutiful wife with nary a hair ever out of place vs. Menopausal midlife Mom (Claire) who runs the family • Obedient model children who always eventually do the right thing vs. ditzy perpetual rule breaker Haley; nerdy, jealous middle child Alex; & offbeat son Luke A more accurate representation probably exists in our own historical context

  16. Intact Anglo-Saxon nuclear family units vs. adopted Asian child (Lily) • Heterosexual unions vs. Gay marriage (Mitchell & Cameron) • ART IMITATING LIFE??? Are both representative of their own respective times?

  17. Supporting Standard (25)The student understands the relationship between the arts and the times during which they were created. The Student is expected to: (A) Describe how the characteristics & issues in U. S. history have been reflected in various genres of literature Ernest Hemingway F. Scott Fitzgerald John Dos Pasos

  18. Lost Generation Literature, 1920s The “Lost Generation” was the generation that came of age during World War I. The term was popularized by Ernest Hemingway, who used it as one of two contrasting epigraphs for his novel, The Sun Also Rises.  This generation included distinguished artists such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, T. S. Eliot, John Dos Passos, Waldo Peirce, Isadora Duncan, Abraham Walkowitz, Alan Seeger, and Erich Maria Remarque. The literature produced by this group reflected the disillusionment and skepticism imbued in that postwar generation because of the war itself.
