A Monumental Decision: The Construction of Mount Rushmore
One of the most overwhelming public art projects taken on by our country is Mount Rushmore.
This project began during our current decade of study, the 1920s.
For this week's blog, read this article from the Smithsonian Institute about the creation of Mount Rushmore. Be sure to read all six sections (click "next" at the bottom of each page until the article is finished).
Of course, a blog about Mount Rushmore wouldn't be complete without addressing the differing views of this site. Read this article and this article to see a different side of the story.
For the comments, discuss what you learned about this impressive monument. Also consider...as cool as Mount Rushmore is, does it seem necessary to you or a waste of time and resources?
