How do our lives shape the art we create and the stories we tell? In this hands-on workshop for PreK-12 educators, we explore how lived experience, identity, and history can serve as powerful tools when creating art.
The afternoon will include a guided tour of our special exhibition Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture where we will discuss how artists find inspiration and how artistic choices communicate meaning. After the tour, create an artwork informed by your own life! Registration is required.
Designed as both a learning and social experience, this workshop aims to provide you with ideas and inspiration to take back to your classroom while creating space for artmaking, conversation, and building community with fellow educators.
Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture is dedicated to jewelry artist Douriean Fletcher, whose work has shaped the cinematic worlds of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther films and Coming 2 America. The exhibition explores the self-taught metalsmith’s jewelry as a powerful narrative tool in art, Black identity, and visual storytelling and spotlights works from the Walters collection that inspired the artist. The exhibition is on view from April 18 to August 9 in our Temporary Exhibition Gallery on Level 1.
