Teacher Workshop @ PMA

Try a Technique: Installation Art inspired by the Exhibition Dancing around the Bride at The Philadelphia Museum of Art Workshop description: Some artists create environments that break from traditional painting or sculpture by allowing viewers to enter their processes and ideas. This workshop begins with a curator talk in the exhibition Dancing around the Bride: Cage, Cunningham, Johns, Rauschenberg, and Duchamp. Artist and teacher Ben Volta will help teachers develop creative strategies for working with multiple mediums, such as drawing, painting, sculpture, technology, music, and performance. Then teachers will work collaboratively in smaller groups to develop an art installation within the Museum’s studios.

ARTS BRIDGES @ SOLIS-COHEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Avid Eyes
These gigantic eyes reflect our exploration of artwork that hang in five galleries at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Each student created a triangular drawing that reference these great artworks from the past. Throughout the project the students’ individual drawings presented a main idea in their foreground and supporting details in their background. To create a collaborative artwork we arranged the students’ individual drawings around a central axis to form a new design. The gigantic eye design can be seen as the overall main idea, and the drawings throughout can be seen as the supporting details.
