Art of the City: Postmodern to Post-Katrina
Grades 5–9
Through the five lessons in this curriculum, educators can engage students with artistic methods, environmental issues, and the complex dynamics of the city. Lessons include using Visual Thinking Strategies to analyze artwork, the intersection of art and environment, the art of portraiture, connecting abstract art and music, and how street art transforms communities. These lessons are presented in conjunction with the HNOC exhibition Art of the City: Postmodern to Post-Katrina, presented by the Helis Foundation.
