On our guided tours with classes for this exhibition we've been getting questions from students around the print making process. Our Education Coordinator EJ designed a great activity inspired by the Young Contemporaries 2022 exhibition. The best way to learn about an art making process is to dive in and get your hands dirty. It's Spring Break this week for Charleston County School District, so perhaps you can try this with the young learners in your circle? As with any art making, there is no age limit on participation, so let's get started! READ WHOLE POST [+]
The annual juried student exhibition is a great opportunity to turn the discussions on our guided exhibition tours to the subjectivity of the jurying process with two activities: Value Judgement Cards and You be the Judge. The activities work best when you are in-person at the exhibition, but the main idea of the Value Judgement Cards can be carried through discussion around a collection of art pieces anywhere. You can try them out with the artwork and decorative pieces you have around your home. In this blog post, I’ll share how the two activities are used with our tour groups. You can do these activities with your own class or organization, or with friends and family. READ WHOLE POST [+]
It is always very important to learn about the different cultures and languages around us. Dyani White Hawk's exhibition Hear Her is all about the experiences that Native Women go through. She highlights these experiences through video and photography. Her goal is to bring light to societies ignorance that they have on the people, culture, and language of those native to the land we live on. When walking through her exhibit it is important to want to learn more Native people. A good resource that highlights native history is the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. They have created lesson plans geared towards learning more Native knowledge. READ WHOLE POST [+]
Dyani White Hawk’s LISTEN series features two videos that show the women engaging with cultural activities, which creates a unique experience for the viewer along with the filming locations. As with all of White Hawk’s videography, the videos were filmed on the respective women’s tribal land or only part of what used to be part of the larger areas where their tribes lived before colonization. White Hawk focuses on the natural landscape of the lands as well as the constructions built on the lands. READ WHOLE POST [+]

During "Namsa Leuba: Crossed Looks" College of Charleston English faculty member Dr. Anthony Varallo brought his courses for a tour of the exhibition. After hearing background information on Namsa Leuba and learning about the art director and photographer’s methodology and the consistent threads in her work, the students were tasked with creating ekphrastic responses to works in the exhibition. After writing poems, prose, and short stories the students shared their pieces with their classmates. A handful of the students also agreed to contribute their work to our blog. Thank you to Imogen, Canaan, Ryle, and Julia for sharing your work with us! READ WHOLE POST [+]
