“Painting” THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: The founding of our country through the fine arts
Presented by Joel Farkas
7:00 pm CT, Cook Park Library, 413 N. Milwaukee Ave, Libertyville, IL
Paintings, Poems, Portraits, Sculptures, Music and more. Learn about the importance of the fine arts during the American Revolution, and how those same Fine Arts help define us a nation today. PS: Learn what “macaroni” really means in the song “Yankee Doodle”, In fact, I’ll bet you’re singing that song right now for the first time in what, decades? Now that’s what I call “PAINTING” POWER.
MY MISSION: To motivate you to learn more about the founding of our country. The people and events that impacted and shaped the world we live in today. I want to prove to you that HISTORY DOES MATTER.
