Task

Now that you've examined each painting, you're going to apply what you've learned about historical analysis through art by researching one of the most iconic symbols of American society, the Statue of Liberty. If you have ever visited New York City, it's quite possible that you've actually taken a tour of it and learned about the very important history and symbolism behind the statue. In fact, the Statue of Liberty not only represents the symbol of freedom and equality for Americans, it also reveals a tremendous amount of information about the long-standing alliance between the United States and the country of France.

The Statue of Liberty is on federal land and managed by the National Park Service, you can begin your research of it by clicking on National Park Service: Statue of Liberty to learn more about the history, culture, and people behind the building of the statue. At minimum, read the following pages:

• The French Connection
• Liberty Island Chronology
• Get the Facts

You will now use the information you learned about the Statue of Liberty to complete 7.02 National Symbols. Once you finish, submit your responses to the 7.02 National Symbols Dropbox.
