What do you think this mural* represents? Today we will look closely at one of the five murals in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. What do you think this mural* represents? What is the evidence, from the picture, that supports your hypothesis? The following mural image is used with permission from: Susan Greendyke, Art Collections Manager, Massachusetts Arts Commission, Permission granted 27 July 2011 via email. * Image is copyrighted and can only be used with permission.

What do you see? When and where might this be?

What new things / people do you see? Make a prediction as to what is happening in this picture. Share your evidence for your thinking.

One of 5 murals created in 1942 for the House of Representative’s Chamber. Why would one of the murals be about the drafting of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts? These are not true likenesses of John Adams, Samuel Adams and James Bowdoin. Why do you think that the artist didn’t make their images accurate? Should they be? Why or why not? (Homework assignment) Please see background information for more information about this mural as well as the other four “Milestones on the road to freedom in Massachusetts”.
