This book's fun art-based ESL exercises all incorporate works from The National Gallery of Art in Washington. With culturally contextualized exercises to practice grammar and generate discussions, relating to themes of the city, country, family, home, and description of individuals, the book includes, for example,  comprehension questions based on Sojourner Truth’s meeting with Abraham Lincoln in 1864.
