    Which posters are most useful for planning an art activity for school tours at the New Britain Museum of American Art? I chose a variety of compositions that open up choices for people to consider for their design layout.  These posters also have an emotional impact that make people want to protect wildlife and farms, participate in special events, and have fun. The designs that start close to the viewer before moving back in spatial perspective are engaging and literally draw in the person's attention for the goal of the poster: Get Involved! I explained my reasons for picking each of these posters on another list of comments emailed as a pdf because I had trouble figuring out how to put everything on the lesson plan.

    So many of the posters depict what could be considered Regionalism in art, I think. The poster about Trees is a good one to highlight. There are also a lot of community-centered posters. Since we organize the posters into themes, you might want to cross reference this page on Posters for the People and then see if any of those posters that you pick there are from the LOC. http://www.postersforthepeople.com/store/c13/Neighborhood_Places.html
