The State of Iowa has been involved in the education of its citizens since almost the colonization of the territory, when Iowa became a State in 1846 it already had a large number of rural schools spread throughout its Counties.

 

It established its first institute of secondary education in 1850, when in the rest of the United States they did not become common until after the beginning of the 20th century, this was followed by public and private universities, giving an example of concern for the academic training of its citizens.
Geographically, it is the only State that has its eastern and western borders delimited by the passage of 2 rivers, the Mississippi and the Missouri.

 

It has long been considered the country's main agricultural producer, given the ideal conditions that its territory offers for agricultural exploitation.
Grant Wood was an American painter born on February 13, 1891 in the State of Iowa, he was the greatest connoisseur of the rural environment in the entire American Midwest, and this was reflected in his works, the representation of farms, farmers and crops were his main objectives in his paintings.
He spent most of his life teaching classes in schools and art institutes, and his numerous trips to Europe helped him perfect painting techniques, especially impressionism.
