The Fremd High School American Studies Ning

I can't believe how much work has gone into this painting.. The painting itself is great but as you run your curser over the people it tells you who they are and provides a link (double click on a person) to get more information on each person. This could keep you occupied for hours.

I posted this limk instead of the painting because it is interactive. Please comment on what you think on the panting if you,like myself, are in need of easy ning contributions.

Wow that painting really is amazing. I think it's really cool that it tells you who all of the people are, as well as the background(Great Wall of China, Stonhenge, etc.) and even some of the animals haha. It's also pretty funny how the artists put themselves in the painting along with all of these famous people.
Ha thanks. Yeah I love this and probably have spent an hour or two looking at it. I think the most interesting thing though, isnt the people that they put in but the people that they didn't include. For example they have saint peter but not Jesus. Every once in a while Ill think of someone important and go check to see if there in the panting
The Saint-Peter-But-Not-Jesus thing is interesting. I wonder why...?
This painting is insane. It took my computer like 5 minutes to load it up haha. That's really cool. I wonder how long it took to paint this. Just one problem. I think Ghandi needs some more space in the picture.
This painting in incredible. There's so much detail and variety in it. I have absolutely no artistic ability, so when i see crazy paintings like this, i get even more jealous.
why did they include an LOL cat on the far left of the screen, sitting on the table? i'm not sure if cats with funny captions are very influential...
This site is brilliant! it actually sparks interest into people that we probably have never knew that were famous and everyone of them had an impact on house today, without us even realizing it
I really liked that painting, youre totally right, it could have kept me occupied for hours! my favorite people in there were Shirley Temple and Mike Tyson, but it was also neat to see so many names of leaders that i recognized names of from previous history classes
That painting was so cool! I really liked how you could read about each person just by clicking on them. It was fun to try and guess who each person was before running the cursor over them to show their name.
Did anybody else notice the shortage of women in there?

Of the five women I found, three of them are American movie stars, and the other two are foreign political leaders.

What do you make of that?
This painting is truely amazing. I feel like the painter wanted to fit in everything that he felt made history what it is. When i looked at this i felt anyone or thing that made an impact on the U.S. or even the world is painted in. my favorite was the actress Audry Hepburn from Breakfest at Tiffanis!!!
This Painting is amazing! I did notice that there were only 3 American Presidents and none of them was George Washington. There was George W. Bush, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Abe Linclon. Other than I agree with everyone else.

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
