By examining works of art in their historical context, we can develop a more critical understanding of the past and the present. Join fellow educators and local experts to discover how using works of art as primary source documents can help students access their own lines of inquiry, engage in research strategies, and foster visual literacy.
This Art + History Mini-Conference features Michal Raz-Russo, David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Associate Curator of Photography, as keynote speaker; dynamic sessions led by peer teachers and other professionals; and tested resources for incorporation into your curriculum. Lunch will be provided.
This program will focus on the exhibition Never a Lovely So Real: Photography and Film in Chicago, 1950–1980.
