- Were the artists' subjects characteristic of American national identity for that era?
- How does each painting reflect the artists' feelings or beliefs about what they were depicting?
- A description of the innovation which is being depicted; in other words was the type of building or industrial process a significant break from the past? How? Research the type of building or industrial process from at least one additional scholarly online or library resource.
