    In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, girls in America were often educated with art, through needlework and ornamental practices. A new exhibit at the Folk Art Museum gathers about 100 works, and makes the case that "school girl" art is an underappreciated genre in American history, particularly in landscape art. Museum chief curator Emelie Gevalt discusses her research and interest in the art made by young women and girls from this time period. 'Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art' is on view through February 28.
