Cultural Artifacts:
History through Art

In "Discovery Experiences in Art History for Young Children,"
George Szekeley (1991) observed:

"Kids delight in uncovering art history in attics, covering themselves with the history of grandpa's old hats, ties, or classic Hawaiian shirts. Kids are also interested in collecting olf 'stuff' such as old baseball gloves and flashlights. As collectors and players, they become interested in the history of their own things, their finds -- the history of dolls teddy bears, marbles, or jack-in-the-boxes. A feel for art history develops by living with family collections and caring for them."

What is in your family collection?
What do these things say about "Where You're From?"
