Artists on the Road: Travel as Source of Inspiration
Slide resource packet for middle/high school levels
The packet contains information about six artists—Maria Sibylla Merian (German), Helen Hyde (American), Sonia Terk Delaunay (Russian), Grace Spaulding John (American), Remedios Varo (Mexican, born in Spain), and Howardena Pindell (American)—featured in the exhibition Artists on the Road: Travel as Source of Inspiration. Each artist is represented with a biographical synopsis, a slide of her work, and teaching ideas with discussion questions and classroom activities. The slides represent a variety of media and techniques: drawing, watercolor, acrylic, photography, and printing. Additional materials include a poem and a bibliography. These materials probe journeys as wellsprings of creative endeavor and complement curricula in creative writing and visual arts.
