I agree with Tyler..I think this is a time in American history where there was a scociatilal revolution fjdkgjaksg and music and art became a huge part in who are nation is and artist were able to create paintings and music that perfectly captured how we were feeling and got through these times. Its like how schools are cutting music programs and art programs now, most artist are more creative visually and musically than verbally; They are able to express themselves. The money put towards these programs helped spark the Harlem Renaissance the greatest artistic moment in American history. This programs help bring out the creative people in our country who usually just sit behind the scenes. It shows how supportive we are as a country towards our own citizens.

I choose this photo because it shows that everyone is them same essentially during this time. We see blacks, women, businessmen, musicians, and more poorly dressed people. Its most likely the end of the work day and times were so tough it left everyone exhausted. I think this pictures message is to say that all Americans in that time were in the same boat (Subway); everyone is tired and exhausted and just want to get home before they all have to do it again tomorrow. It shows like a visual picture that very depression era American could identify with. In Primary Doc 24-2 it says  the average wage is 16 dollars, long days and poor work conditions were major things they had to endure and the days left them physical, emotionally, and mental depleted.

Art and music are two great things, but when a crisis like the Great Depression i think money could been put into better use. Music and art is not going to provide food for you or keep your home. Tax payer should have a choice on what their money was being spent on. I understand music do help you get your mind off of what going on in your life, but using money that can maybe help you get out that debt your in and have food to eat do not make sense to spent that money on music.

By putting money towards art and music during the great depression was a good choice because it allowed those to take their minds off the great depressions and focus it on something else such as music and art. HAving that many americans made music and art to get their mind off of things and allowed others to enjoy the art and music to do the same purpose. I disagree with the statement because i feel that music grew so big that it was one of the causes to pull the United States out of the great depression, other than the New Deal.

I chose this picture because it represents the average persons emotions back during the great depression showing how depressed people were as they were going through what i consider a punishment to the lives of people living in america. This connects to the Great Depression because it shows even though the women played a bigger role than men during that time, they were still depressed.

-Employment of Negroes in Agriculture by Earle Richardson
- I pick this picture because even though blacks started to work with out cultures they still was treated as slaves. In the new deal time they did segregation to black people while they were working. Yeah blacks may of had freedom but people treated them as animals and not like humans. In the new deal lecture it was mention that lynching was going up in the south. Whites wanted to makes the black people still fear them even if they were free. This picture is how other cultures will always see African Americans.

Make TWO posts:

ONE:
- Choose one of the pieces of art on the Smithsonian Gallery (http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/online/1934/index.html) that you think represents some facet of American life during the Great Depression or the New Deal well.
Post:
- A screen shot of the image
- The name of the piece and the artist
- A description of why you chose it, including how you think it connects with the experience of American life during this time (tied to some kind of evidence)
- Include the topic and your name in the heading of your post (example: The 3 Rs - Wade Merrill)

TWO:
- Make a new post responding to the following:
The Great Depression was the ultimate American crisis. If government funds had to be spent on New Deal relief efforts, all of that money should have gone towards things that solved immediate emergencies or made a lasting difference: food relief, infrastructure, economic stimulus, etc. There is no reason tax payer money should have been spent on things like art and music. Tie your opnion to evidence from course materials.
- Place your post near the bottom prompt and include whether you agree or disagree in the title (example: Agree - Wade Merrill)
