High School Level: Grades 9-12 High School Standard: Shape, Space, and Measurement Determine whether an artwork is two- or three-dimensional and how a two-dimensional surface can create the illusion of space. Identify and analyze characteristics of shape, size, space, and patterns as elements of visual images. Discuss specific visual images that reflect the importance of water to early settlers in America, and also consider other natural resources that might attract settlers to a locale. Individually or in small groups, create a map of an ideal settlement location, including a key showing symbols for features such as mountains, rivers, and forests. (See Extension Activities, "The American Land: Westward Ho!") Use the illustrated timeline to discover the chronology of when artworks were created in relation to each other and to historical events. (See Timeline and Extension Activities, "The History of America: Timeline.")
