The National Museum of African American History and Culture is debuting a digital, interactive program designed to engage students in hands-on art making and conversations about African American artists and different genres of visual art. Each week will feature a different artwork and artist--stay tuned to our web page for more upcoming session details! Led by NMAAHC educators, each session will focus on a unique visual art piece and encourage discussion around a central question. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a hand-on art project using household materials. This program is designed to be fluid and conversational. It welcomes students from grades 6-12. Program Goals
- Introduce students to influential African American artists and their unique approaches to art making
- Engage students in close looking exercises for visual art
