Perspectives on History: Designing Change
Presented with the National Postal Museum
April 2, 2016
9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Whether smaller than your palm or bigger than a garage door, images can pack a punch. Zoom in on postage stamps and stand back from wall-sized murals to explore how modern artists have employed their visual vocabulary to call the viewer to action or raise public awareness.
Work with museum educators from the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Postal Museum to explore how design, social issues, and persuasion come together in meaningful ways to support your content area.
Through hands-on activities learn strategies for engaging students in argumentation and persuasive writing. Then collaborate with colleagues on lesson planning while you eat lunch. Join me at American Art on April 2, 2016. |
