In this interactive lesson, students explore the intersection of Eisenhower, history, and art, learning about the efforts to protect cultural treasures during World War II. They will also view several of Ike's personal works of art and take on the challenge of "painting like Ike" by completing one of his unfinished landscapes. This hands-on activity not only delves into Eisenhower’s lesser-known artistic side but also teaches students about the importance of preserving history through art.
