Text-Based Painting
This is a unit I developed with the Museum of Contemporary Art's Education Department during the year-long Teacher Institute program during the 2015-2016 academic calendar.
Project Summary
Students studied how text-based artwork has been a part of the contemporary art world for decades and looked at how it has been presented at the MCA Chicago. Our goal was to create text-based art about issues in contemporary society and then display the artwork in our school in a provocative yet accessible way that starts conversations with the school community. Once the artwork was exhibited, an interactive web app facilitated dialogue between student artists and the school community as a means of social engagement.
