Assets:

Nikki/Salve - - what are your thoughts about swapping some of the photos for this instance of the

Commons home page (so it feels a little different than other times you see it)? See my for instance

suggestions below:

See screen grab, above. Suggest we keep the current Millennials home page, but

a) Swap out the four key images (Ill give you replacements, below), and

b) re-order and shuffle the Featured Member Collections so they look a little different.

Four new images for the home page (see notes immediately above)

o Roosevelt Inaugural Medal, 1905 (Or, History Explorer: Roosevelt Inaugural

Medal, 1905)

Theodore Roosevelt met sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in the 1890s,

when T.R. was an aspiring young politician, and Saint -Gaudens was

establishing a reputation as a brilliant artist. When Roosevelt was elected

President in 1904 and needed an inaugural med al, he gave the

commission to Saint-Gaudens after rejecting the standard, unmemorablemedal typically produced for this occasion by the United States Mint.

Saint-Gaudens's results shattered precedent. The piece was modern in all

senses of the word. There was no attempt to beautify or romanticize the

President's head on the obverse, yet the image clearly conveyed vision

and power. The reverse was, if anything, even more groundbreaking. The

magnificent, left-facing eagle epitomized authority and presence, wh ile

displaying a classical ancient style. (The same eagle is used on the Saint-

Gaudens $10 in 1907). This bird unquestionably ruled all it surveyed.

Saint-Gaudens's success with this medal convinced Roosevelt that the

artist was the partner he needed to c ollaborate on a pet project: the

redesign of America's money. Saint-Gaudens signed on, and the plotting

began. But the potential for trouble hovered on the horizon: this medalhad been struck, not by the United States Mint in Philadelphia, but by


22/87


22

Tiffany & Company in New York. If the Mint hadn't produced Saint -

Gaudens's medal, would it agree to produce any of his coins?

Teddy Roosevelt political cartoono The presidency of Theodore Roosevelt reinvigorated the arena of political

More if needed/wanted: The Archives of American Art has several sketches of and

relating to Theodore Roosevelt, contained in an album of sketches collected by

James David Preston during his thirty-five years as Superintendent of the United

States Senate Press Gallery in Washington, D.C. In describing the volume, Preston's

son Edward noted: "Some sketches were made also at national political conventions,

where my father managed all press arrangements. A few additional sketches have

been included from my own scrap book, started when I accompanied my father to

the Democratic National Convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in

the summer of 1924...I hope it will prove an inspiration to editorial cartoonists of the

present and the future." 1 volume, 18.5 x 12 cm. James D. Preston illustr ated

cartoon by Clifford Berryman. It showed President Theodore Roosevelt, a noted hunter and outdoorsman, refusing to shoot a

captured bear cub. The story helped cement Roosevelt's image as a masculine but compassionate leader.

2.6.8 Description (1 paragraph)+ read more at the [source]

y o The year 2002 marked the 100th anniversary of the political cartoon that sparked the creation of the Teddy Bear. One of the

first produced toy plush bears sold as Teddy is part of the Museums political history co llection and is currently on view inThe

American Presidency: A Glorious Burden exhibition.

y

y o While bear hunting Mississippi and Louisiana in 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt decided it was unsportsmanlike to shoot

a bear that had been surrounded by dogs, rendered unconscious and tied to a tree. Roosevelt asked a hunting guide to kill the bear with a

knife, putting it out of its misery. This event became the subject of an editorial cartoon by Clifford Berryman of theWashin gton Post who,

neglecting to do cument the death of the bear, portrayed Roosevelt in a compassiona te light, sparing the bears life, and thus igniting the

teddy bear craze. The cartoon was redrawn and published several times and the image of the bear subsequently changed, becomin g

smaller and more endearing, finally depicted as a bear cub.

y o

y o The story of Roosevelts unsuccessful bear hunt sparked the imagination ofMorrisMichtom, who asked his wife Rose to

create a toy plush bear to commemorate the event. According to family lore, Mic htom said he received personal approval from Roosevelt

himself when he asked to use the Presidents nickname Teddy for the bear. The popularity of the bear led to the highly succ essful Ideal

Novelty and Toy Company in New York, founded by Michtom around 1903.

y o

yo Benjamin Michton, son of Ideals founder, gave the bear to Roosevelts grandson Kermit, his wife and their children, in late1963. The toy was in the familys possession for just one month before curator Herb Collins accepted it for the museum i n January, 1964.

The bear dates to 1903 and is in perfect condition.

2.13.3 Program recommendation (name), description (15 words)

y Note to Salve/Nikki - - we gotta use the image/icon for this even though the wireframe shows no image. Pretty please!!! (its an awesome

program and might help me tell a story about how great search/collecting helps classroom support materials bubble up to the surface)

y

y Learn how to use portraits as tools to teach about significant individuals and the eras in which they lived.

y Also: Have you ever considered using portraiture as a jumping-off point in a history lesson but just don't know where to begin? Using

the Portrait Gallery's "Twentieth-Century Americans" exhibition as the backdrop, this workshop will introduce teachers to the skill of

reading portraiture. Teachers will then use this skill to create their own looking activity with an unsung hero from the collection.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial,

(sculpture).

Work on the monument began August 10,

1927, the day President Calvin Coolidge

dedicated Mount Rushmore. Fourteen

years were needed to bring the sculpture to

its conclusion, but because of bad weather

and lack of funds only six years were

actually spent in the carving.

Photograph of the cartoonDrawing the line in

Mississippi by Clifford

Berryman, drawn in 1902

While bear hunting

Mississippi and Louisiana in

1902, President Theodore

Roosevelt decided it was

unsportsmanlike to shoot a

bear that had been

surrounded by dogs,

rendered unconscious and

tied to a tree. Roosevelt

asked a hunting guide to kill

the bear with a knife,

putting it out of its misery.

This event became the

subject of an ed itorial

cartoon by Clifford

Berryman of the

Washington Post who,

neglecting to document the

death of the bear, p ortrayedRoosevelt in a

compassionate light, sparing

the bears life, and thus

igniting the teddy bear

craze.

Narrative:

Action: Click download link.

Salve/Nikki - - can we include thumbnails in the items to export list? That would be GREAT!

For assets: Just pick the first one or as many as fit.

Let Mike know when you have this screen laid out so he can mock-up the Friday folder page.

If you can figure out a way to add another download format, PowerPoint/Keynote/Impress that would

be SUPER! (Teachers often want to get stuff quickly into PowerPoint for use in the classroom. Maybe a

way to fudge it without having to list all three of those formats would be to have a choice that said just

presentation and well pretend that some dialog would open up that would ask them to

choose/format Yeah, thats the ticket ;)

Nikki/Salve - - Heerrreees an idea: On the Friday folder is a link to the teachers my collection , and on

this screen we show her collection (2.12) instead of the commons object page. Then I can write a

narrative that takes them to 2.8 (commons object page)

you mention

If you want to

ramp this up a bit,

my suggestion isto replace the

blog/article block

(2.4.12-an-a-half)

with a block just

for teachers, and

by teachers. See

sketch attached to

basecamp

message. Id also

move it to the

top, just under

the 3 featured

objects (2.5.10).

Agreed: lets use

Communicating the Presidency

The methods that presidents and the American people have usedto

communicate with each other are the subject of this section of The

American Presidency: A Glorious Burden, an online exhibition from the

Smithsonians National Museum of American History. Students will

learn how mass media, the entertainment industry and consumer

products are all used to conduct a national dialogue between the

president and his constituents.

Teddy Bear Object Page

1/28/2010 msg from Nikki to Mike: Teddy Bear Object Page

Nikki says: Mike says:

2.6.1 I suggest the following high-level categories

for American Presidents and Theodore Roosevelt

to which the Teddy Bear belong:

Portraits of Presidents

American Presidents Timeline

Political Memorabilia

Presidential Campaigns

Theodore Roosevelt

OK! Doc updated

I want to talk with you about how to better handle

Smithsonian Affiliates and Other Collections, like

National Archives and Library of Congress, but I needto think of some solutions first!

right-o!

2.6.2 I suggest the fol lowing sub-categories for

Theodore Roosevelt:

The Roosevelt Family

Early Childhood

Early Political Career

Political Campaign

Progressive Party

OK! Updated.


85/87

Republican Party

Governor of New York

Writer

Popular Culture

Accomplishments

Speeches

Kids Facts

Mount Rushmore

John Muir

Conservationist

National Parks

Teddy Bears

2.6.3 Can we have 1 of the 3 participate promos

be related to Presidents or History in general? It sort

of feels out of place if theyre all off-topic (which at

the core is History + American Presidents + Theodore

Roosevelt).

Ive changed the geotag and postal

items.

2.6.4 I think were missing this content, right? Keep

it Theodore Roosevelt or American President related.

Not teddy bear.

Uuugggg. Yes. Done.

2.6.6 Updated to this: Toys, Presidents, Theodore

Roosevelt, Michton

OK, updated doc to match.

2.6.7 Updated to this: Bear, Toys, Cute, Stuffed

Animals, Kids

OK, updated doc to match.

2.6.12 Instead of duplicating the bear cam, I suggest

including something else from theNational Zoo.

Didnt they just have a baby panda? If not, can we

make it up? ;)

OK. Done.

Need to update the Get Involved box under the

unique URL and Embed code. Currently says find an

astronomy club near you. We could ask members to

upload a photo of their favorite teddy bear to the

Flickr set... or Post their favorite fact about Theodore

Roosevelt

OK - - see new 2.6.0

Hope this makes sense. Overall, unbelievably fantastic

content. Cant wait to see it in design.

Me too!!
