1.Portraying George Washington is important to the contestants because they saw George Washington as a hero.
2.Leutze painted "Washington Crossing the Delaware" because he was hoping to encourage Europe's liberal reformers through the example of the American Revolution.
3.Three historical inaccuracies in the painting are Washington's stance, the size of the boat, and it would be hard to control the boat in the stormy weather.
4.No, art should not be historically accurate because art can still be important to history even if it isn't real history. For example, The Foot Soldier. The statue was inaccurate, but it was still important to history.
Portraying George Washington is important to the contestants because he was an honorable man and because he was one of the best leaders in America .
Leutze painted "Washington Crossing the Delaware" because it shows Washington and his men crossing the Delaware River for the surprise attack against the German allies .
Three historical inaccuracies in the painting are the crew , how confident Washington looks and the waves and weather .
Yes, art should be historically accurate so that we know what really happened and not just small parts of it .

1. Portraying George Washington is important to the contestants because He was one of the best leaders in america.
2. Leutze painted "Washington Crossing the Delaware" because to show George Washington crossing with his for the surprise attack on the German.
3. Three historical inaccuracies in the painting are, if Washington was on the edge he would have fell out, most people would have been standing to avoid icy water in the bottom of the boat,it was also night when they were crossing.
4. No, art should not be historically accurate because I think art should have it's own voice. Even though it could be wrong it could be from the artist perspective.
