"What makes you smile when you see this image?" Elizabeth Dale-Deines showed me some of the techniques she uses with students in @americanart's Creating American Stories program, such as starting with a question. For me, it was the vivid colors in "Café" by William H. Johnson.pic.twitter.com/96ksOkqb7u
Johnson's "Café" is one of the artworks Elizabeth and fellow @americanart educators use with eighth graders visiting from Washington, D.C., public schools. She prompts them to discuss their reactions and discover how the 1939 image is relevant to their lives today.pic.twitter.com/viC1R3oRXy
While its flat geometric shapes may not immediately invite closer looking, exploring "Café" with @americanart educators reveals intriguing depth. In our programs, students develop skills we all need in 2019: questioning assumptions, seeing multiple perspectives, building empathy.pic.twitter.com/wA2fDrxCh2
After exploring Johnson's "Café" and other @americanart works, students are invited to write. One student's poem in response to this work was titled "A Mysterious Brunch." Another was "The Lovely Jazz Night." Thank you, @dealvikings students, for sharing your writing with us.pic.twitter.com/X0NwFnuq7Q
Elizabeth and her fellow educators at @americanart help illustrate what is so powerful about the @Smithsonian's work with students. Responsive to teachers' and students' needs, our programs teach art, history, and transferable skills essential to a rich and fulfilling life.pic.twitter.com/roErmttRea
