SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – The Painter’s Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists Who Championed the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies by soldiers with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic\, artists also played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals. Discover with Dr. Zara Anishanslin the inspiring stories and intertwined lives of three largely forgotten Patriot artists: Robert Edge Pine\, Prince Demah\, and Patience Wright. They defied the British monarchy\, armed with paint\, canvas\, wax\, and espionage while risking their lives and reputations to support the cause of liberty. \nThe Historic Annapolis Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. If you enjoy this program\, we hope you will consider becoming a member or making a donation today to support Historic Annapolis and our mission to connect all people with our shared history.  \nCan’t watch live? All lectures will be recorded. Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event. \nAdvance registration required; registration closes on half-hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:Sails\, Science\, and Stories of Annapolis: Homeschool Program
DESCRIPTION:From its early days as a colonial port to its reputation today as a premier sailing destination\, oyster hub\, and home of the U.S. Naval Academy\, Annapolis has always had a deep connection to the water. In this hands-on STEAM program\, we explore that relationship\, both historical and current\, while uncovering the science that keeps boats afloat and sails full of wind. \nIn this session\, students will create boats and test out buoyancy\, stability\, sail power\, and steering. This program will have you thinking like both a historian and an engineer! \nThis session is for Middle/High School students from 12:00-1:30pm. \nCost: $10 per student. One adult chaperone per family is free. $10 per each additional adult.
