May 22nd is Portfolio Day. The student teaching portfolios will be on view in South 109 from 11:00 to 3:15. They will be reviewed by our alumnae Marianne Taylor, who teaches at Driscoll Elementary School in Brookline, and Jessie Young, who teaches at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.
In response to the Marathon bombings and all the subsequent events of last week, Beth Balliro of the Art Education Department invited all in the college community to come to South 109 on Thursday, April 25 between 8:30 and 12 to make small 2D art works for the students of Neighborhood House Charter School in Dorchester. Martin Richard, the eight-year-old boy killed in the bombing, was a student at the school, as is his sister, who was injured. His mother, also injured, is the school librarian.
Last week’s events hit very close to home for many of us, and in this workshop students, faculty, staff, and alumni responded to violence with art. Over the course of the morning a wall of the 3″ square canvases went up, as participants painted and collaged images of animals, flowers, a ballet dancer, a city skyline, and all kinds of subjects meant to appeal to the children.
See the article in the alumni newsletter about John Crowe, who is a MassArt Art Education alumnus.
See the catalog of the show, created by the students of the Exhibitions class.
