In addition to the art activity, I think this Set would also be a great jumping off point for storytelling and writing activities.

Abbie Anderson on Before we visit either museum, is there a way to see what is currently on view?

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:37:08 -0500

The link above for "On View at the Walker 2009" is broken. To get a list of exhibitions on view at the Walker Art Center, use ArtsConnectEd's Art Finder as follows:

First, navigate to the "Events" tab. (These are the blue tabs arranged horizontally, just above the search results.)
Use the "Institution" filter to select Walker Art Center.
Lastly, use the "Type" filter to choose exhibitions.

Now to interpret your search results. Each slide-like object represents an exhibition currently on view in the Walker galleries. Click on any exhibition title to read its description. Though the Sculpture Garden does not appear in the list, the Garden is open year-round.

I believe the author meant that Van Gogh died in 1890 (not 1980).

I believe the bank pictured is in fact not a Banthrico but perhaps an AC Rehberger. My belief is based on the raised versus recessed lettering on the base.

Abbie Anderson on Coffee Thyme

Let's examine this work.

Use the "Zoom" tool to inspect the surface for subtle variations. (To activate the Zoom tool, hover the mouse/cursor over the image and click on the "+" sign that appears.) In the lower third of the paper you may see faint lines, making it look like the paper is scored, folded, or has a slightly dimensional quality.
Find more information on the "Details" tab. The physical description states that we're looking at a "blind intaglio of triangle and rectangle." In printmaking, a "blind" print is made without ink. Paper can be debossed or embossed by using a plate (or other form) and applying pressure.

After using the Zoom tool across the surface, speculate what this print might look like if the artist had used ink.

Abbie Anderson on Art Collector Sets Examine the How and Why of Collecting Art

Thu, 05 May 2011 17:39:01 -0400

Here's another example of a Set that looks at how and why collections are made. Bob Peterson's Set titled Artobiographies encourages students to tell their personal histories by collecting images and works of art.

Yes, a comparison of the two exhibitions would be interesting.

Some questions come to mind.

How are personal decisions made about an artwork? "I like this because it....."

Does it matter if the artwork has never been seen in person?

Can you predict what themes will emerge in the Plains Art Museum's exhibition?
