In fall of 2016, for credit in my university's Honor's Program, I independently studied American art history while participating in the "United States History to 1877" course. Throughout the semester, I gave six short presentations to the class. In spring of 2017 I was asked to present a summary of this information in a special seminar.
Below is my final presentation.
