Cowboy and Brand Lesson
The purpose of this lesson is to make students more aware of the cowboy way of life. Students learn about Cowboy Art and how brands are designed.

On the Western Range with Remington
Students gather information about the history of western North America in the last half of the 19th century, analyze Frederic Remington’s portrayals of the West for historic and geographic accuracy, and represent their knowledge about the historic North American West in a detailed colored pencil drawing.

Cowboys
This project gives students an opportunity to analyze a classic of cowboy literature. In addition, students will have a chance to compare and contrast 19th-century cowboy literature with cowboy material being produced today.
