Art of History: Slavery

April 1, 2016 I finished teaching the Art of History: Slavery program on behalf of the New York Historical Society. The Art of History is a unique classroom-based program combining social studies content with visual arts learning, follow the link to find out more. As stated on the New York Historical Society website This five-session mini-residency teaches American history, art history, and art making. Students engage with historical content and visual culture by analyzing historic artifacts, documents, and images. They then learn techniques to visually document their history learning through art making. Every residency ends with a classroom exhibition of the students' work. 
Below are images from the Young Woman Leadership School in the Bronx. Their artworks are great because the step by step learning increased their understanding of the history and art theory.
