For students in Grades 1-6 / Cowboy Close-Up / FREE / Check the http://www.connect2texas.net/ calendar for dates and times of free programs in January early February.
The photographs of Erwin E. Smith along with the paintings and sculpture of Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell are viewed as primary resources that tell the story of the American cowboy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Students experience the lifestyle of a cowboy through the eyes and words of an historical reenactor as they watch video clips filmed with an authentic chuck wagon. After the videoconference, continue exploring the theme by using supporting lesson plans from the Carter’s online teaching guide Erwin E. Smith: The Cowboy Photographer.
