On the Cover: Winslow Homer (1836 1910), The Gulf Stream, 1899, Oil on canvas. Image copyright: © The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Image source: Art Resource, NY How do writers and artists help us to understand ourselves as individuals? Common Core takes advantage of every opportunity to build students cultural literacy. That is why the cover of each book we publish is illustrated with an important work of painting, sculpture, or architecture. We select images that we know students will love to look at again and again. These works relate to ideas taken up in the book. The Gulf Stream is among Homer s final works. Critics and scholars have speculated widely about the painting s meaning, suggesting it was meant to be an allegory about fate, or a statement about civil rights. Homer never assigned a message to the work. At least one interpretation seems clear that Homer was intent to depict man as an individual. The pleasures and burdens of individualism is a theme explored in numerous literary and non-fiction works that are the focus of this volume. Common Core, Inc. (commoncore.org) is a non-profit organization formed in 2007 to advocate for a content-rich liberal arts education in America s K 12 schools. To improve education in America, Common Core creates curriculum materials, conducts professional development, and also promotes programs, policies, and initiatives at the local, state, and federal levels that provide students with challenging, rigorous instruction in the full range of liberal arts and sciences.
