Rockwell was no different. During his high school years, he studied at the Chase School of Fine and Applied Art, every Saturday and most Wednesdays. Rockwell's love for art was steadily growing at this point and, during his sophomore year, he left high school to attend the National Academy of Design. In the mid-1930s, Rockwell was approached to illustrate new editions of the Mark Twain classics, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. Always taking his work to the next level, Rockwell traveled to Hannibal, Missouri, the setting for most of Twain's legendary novels, to depict more realistic illustrations for Twain's fictional adventures. While there he created sketches of the city and brought home authentic regional costumes for models to wear while he painted his illustrations. Norman Rockwell's ability to relate to the values and events of an evolving society made him a hero, a visionary and a friend, not only to Americans, but also to individuals all over the globe. In his own words, "Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed."
