The Power of Critical Thinking
An outreach initiative to support the Power of Art, an eight-hour series with host Simon Schama scheduled for broadcast on PBS in June 2007. The initiative creates a partnership between public television stations and local visual arts institutions to educate high school and college students to think critically about art and art history, using the series as the centerpiece for dialogue, an online national essay contest for high school students, digital tools, and a media-enhanced Web site for educators.
