Digging Deep: An inquiry-based, interdisciplinary school program at the Mississippi Museum of Art Overview and Instructional Plan

Digging Deep is a multidisciplinary project designed to utilize The Art Garden at the Mississippi Museum of Art (MMA) as a place for exploring an urban ecosystem rich with native flora and fauna as well as original works of art by Mississippi artists. During teaching trips to the Museum, students will explore connections between art in The Mississippi Story, an exhibition of the Museum's permanent collection, and The Art Garden. The goal of this inquiry-based project is for students to work in small groups to create field guides of flora and fauna in The Art Garden, illustrated with photographs and watercolors. This project is standards-based, and meets objectives in science, language arts, visual arts, and technology. While the project was developed for 3rd through 6th graders, it can be adapted easily for younger and older students. This project is an original curriculum designed for The Art Garden, though it includes several individual lessons from other published sources. The Museum's education department has a collection of resources related to this project that are available to participating schools. In addition, MMA educators are excited to work with you to deliver this engaging curriculum to your students. Please contact education@msmuseumart.org for more information.

Big Ideas • • •

•

Environmental conditions exist in urban neighborhoods to support plant, animal, and human life in an ecosystem. Nature is a primary theme in the art created by Mississippi artists, as evidenced by work in The Mississippi Story at the Mississippi Museum of Art. Many artists become environmentalists because of their close connection to and love for nature. The inquiry skills needed for creating art are the same skills needed for conducting scientific investigations. In this unit, students will learn to be close observers, learn to record information and data for subsequent analysis, critique initial efforts, work collaboratively, and work further on first-stab observations to create fully-realized artwork and published text. Students will learn about Mississippi artists whose work has its origin in nature.

Basics • • •

Designed for students in grades 3-6, though can be adapted for younger or older students Recommended time frame for full project: at least 2 months Lessons can be undertaken individually or collectively, and travel to the Museum is not a requirement.

Digging Deep was piloted in 2012 with 43 fourth graders at Davis Magnet Elementary School in Jackson, Miss. These students created the photographs, watercolor paintings, and field guides featured as examples throughout this curriculum. We used a set of 13 digital cameras owned by the Museum that are available for use. The primary author of this project is Sarah C. Campbell, an author/photographer and teaching artist, in collaboration with educators from the Mississippi Museum of Art. Teachers from Davis Magnet School were Jalisha Cross and Jordan Gunther, fourth grade; and Beth West, International Baccalaureate Coordinator. 2

Standards Digging Deep is designed to be multidisciplinary. It meets objectives outlined in the 2010 Mississippi Science Framework, the Common Core Standards for Reading and Language Arts, Mississippi Visual and Performing Arts Framework, and National Educational Technology Standards. Specifically, the unit engages students with the inquiry (1) and life science (3) strands from the science framework. For the common core, it addresses reading standards for informational text, and standards for writing, speaking and listening, and language. In the arts, students will meet objectives in creating/performing (CP), critical analysis (CA), and connections (C). In technology, the unit addresses creativity and innovation (1), and technology operations and concepts (6). Example: Grade 4 Mississippi and National Standards 2010 Miss.

DEVELOPING CLOSE OBSERVATION SKILLS THROUGH THE LIFE OF WALTER ANDERSON Walter Anderson took the time to truly see what was all around him. He concentrated so intensely on his subjects that he felt he truly became that tree, that flower, or that bird-especially among his friends on Horn Island. -Hester Bass, The Secret World of Walter Anderson

READ…. Begin by reading The Secret World of Walter Anderson by Hester Bass. This book is available on loan from the Mississippi Museum of Art’s Education Department.

THINK ABOUT…. What is unique or interesting about Walter Anderson? What are a few adjectives you might use to describe Walter Anderson's lifestyle? _______________, _______________, ______________

Take a few moments to look together at the watercolors by Walter Anderson.

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK… SEE: What is going on in this picture? What do you see that makes you say that? What else do you notice? CONNECT: What do you know about this image? What does this image bring to mind? THINK: What do you think about this image? What makes you say that? How does it make you feel? WONDER: About what does this image make you wonder? What more do you wish to know about it? How would you describe Walter Anderson’s paintings? Brainstorm words together to build a vocabulary around which to describe his paintings. Are they energetic? Or are they still? Are they vibrant? Or are they dull?

THINK ABOUT…. As it said in The Secret World of Walter Anderson, Walter Anderson’s Horn Island paintings were not discovered until after his death. He told no one about them, not even his wife and children. Why do you imagine he kept them secret? Why were they special to him? 14

In addition to being an artist, many also describe Walter Anderson as a naturalist, an environmentalist, and an even an ecologist. Does anyone know what those words mean? What do they have in common?

CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES…SKETCHING When he went to Horn Island, Walter Anderson would capture the animals and plants on the island through his watercolors. He would also keep logs or journals where he would sketch and write about his experiences. He would sometimes use these sketches to produce his finished watercolors. Explain to students that when they go to The Art Garden at the Mississippi Museum of Art, they are going to keep a log, or a nature journal, just like Walter Anderson did. They will document the plants, the insects, and the animals they find, and, eventually, will work together in groups to create a field guide on a certain topic, using the nature journals as a guide. Introduce the basics of sketching In the following, students will learn to draw as they see everyday subjects and objects in and around them. These lessons will help build fundamental skills in close observation and sketching, and are important to do before beginning the field research in The Art Garden (or other location). Supplies: • • • •

Sketch paper Drawing Pencils Erasers Mat board frame (optional)

Vocabulary: • • •

Contours Shading Motif

DRAW…. The following three lessons are meant to help to develop foundational skills for sketching and shading. These can be done in one lesson or, preferably, spaced out over the course of a few days to reinforce learning.

Contour drawing In this exercise, students will learn about the outline, or contour, of a shape. They will begin by using their hand, which is a good way to practice simplifying a familiar shape before moving onto the shapes they will draw when observing in nature. After tracing their hand, they will then try to draw it freehand.

Ask students to place their hand on a piece of paper and to carefully (and delicately) trace around it using their pencil. Tracing first will help to emphasize the importance of capturing only the outline of the hand. Next, ask the students to remove their hand from the paper and place it in front of them. Have them try drawing their hand again, only this time without tracing. Have them repeat this to practice drawing only the contours of what they see. See Contour Drawing How-To

The Seven Motifs During the 1930s, Walter Anderson acquired a book by a Mexican artist, Adolfo Best-Maugard, called A Method for Creative Design, which would influence him tremendously. After studying decorative wares unearthed from a pre-Hispanic site in Mexico, Best-Maugard identified seven elements from which all decorative patterns are made: the simple straight line, the spiral, the simple circle, the semicircle, the wavy line, two half circles (or the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sâ&#x20AC;? shape), and the broken zigzag. Walter Anderson employed these elements directly, as is evidenced in the distinctive lines and patterns that make up many of his birds, turtles, and other creatures seen in his work. In this exercise, students will practice with the designs and use them together to create their own patterns. Ask them to all try using the motifs to (1) create a border around their name; (2) to draw a flower; and (3) to draw an animal of their choice. See Motifs How-To

Sketching and Shading In this exercise, students will begin to consider light and shading in their sketches. This will be important when they are journaling in The Art Garden. Students will begin by using basic shapesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a cube, a cone, a circle, and a box. [Note: when possible, we suggest you use a three-dimensional version of one of these shapes to help students consider how light affects the shape.] On a sheet of paper, ask the students to draw one of these shapes. Using the edge of a pencil, ask them to shade a portion of the shape and note from where the light is coming. After shading the shapes, we suggest practicing sketching (combining contour drawing and shading) in the classroom or outside for a few minutes each day prior to visiting The Art Garden. See Shading How-To

LOOKING AT ART The following is meant to assist educators with helping students respond thoughtfully and critically to works of art. When looking at works of art, the students’ experience is most rewarding if they are encouraged to respond imaginatively and if they understand that there are no wrong answers. Establish a protocol, or a thinking routine, to provide structure to the dialogue around a work of art. Research shows that thinking routines make students more comfortable to engage in unfamiliar dialogue and encourage active participation among all learners. Creating a “culture of thinking” 1 helps facilitators meet learning objectives and also assists in building students’ vocabulary so that they can become more conversant and descriptive with visual prompts. To read more about thinking routines, click here. If you do not currently use a protocol in your classroom, please use the Museum’s, which students encounter when visiting MMA. Use this routine with each work of art before incorporating the various discussion questions and additional activities you find in this guide. When confronting a new work of art, walk your students through the following:

SEE-CONNECT-THINK-WONDER SEE: What is going on in this picture? What do you see that makes you say that? What else do you notice? As students identify what they see, we recommend that you point to what they are noticing in the work. Continue to ask these questions until all possible answers are exhausted.

CONNECT: What do you already know about this image? What does this image bring to mind? This is an opportunity for students to draw from their prior knowledge (other disciplinary content, personal experiences, etc.) and make connections to it. Students can collectively pool information during the “connect” portion.

THINK: What do you think about this image? What makes you say that? How does this work make you feel? Why? This is a chance for students to express an opinion about the image. Here, you might push them to support their claims through the elements of art—composition, shape, form, color, and texture.

WONDER: About what does this image make you wonder? What more do you wish to know about it? This encourages students to use their imaginations and to think about other factors that they would like to know about the work. This would also be an appropriate time to introduce other “contextual” factors about the life and work of the artists, historical events that were happening at the time this work was created, etc.

WALTER INGLIS ANDERSON (1903-1965) Walter Inglis Anderson was an artist and naturalist who explored a range of media, including watercolor, drawings, linoleum block prints, furniture, carved figures, ceramics, and oil paintings. Stylistically, his work can be split into three periods: the Ocean Springs years (1930-1937); the Oldfields years (1940-1948); and the Horn Island years (1949-1965). It is his work during the Horn Island years for which he is most known and recognized, even though much of the notoriety he has received came after his death. 1 Walter Anderson was born in New Orleans in 1903, the second of three boys. The son of a successful grain merchant and an artist mother of a well-to-do New Orleans family, Walter enjoyed many privileges as a young boy. At a young age, he took interest in the natural world around him, enjoying exploring the swamps and bayous around New Orleans with his two brothers as well as hunting with his father. When Anderson was eleven years old, he was sent to a military boarding school in New York (which he described as “prison”) for four years, which was interrupted by World War I. He returned to New Orleans to finish his education at the Isidore Newman School. 2 Walter’s mother, an artist herself, was determined that her three boys would pursue careers as an artist. The family would eventually relocate to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where Peter became interested in ceramics and founded Shearwater Pottery in 1928. Once he finished school, the youngest—James—would also work at Shearwater Pottery in addition to working in watercolors, oils, and block prints 3 Walter Anderson went to New York, where he spent a year at the New School of Fine and Applied Art (now the Parsons School for Design) studying commercial art. After a year, Anderson enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy for the Fine Arts (PAFA), where he spent four years. While at PAFA, Anderson was preoccupied with “the study of masters of drawing, especially Durer, Ingres, and Degas.” 4 He studied with Henry McCarter, an artist who had studied in Paris and been friendly with the Impressionists. McCarter encouraged his students to consider “Light as color, rather than as value or tone.” 5 Anderson supposedly spent much of his time at PAFA rejecting drawing from cast molds, and, instead, enjoyed spending time and drawing at the Philadelphia Zoo. He turned in the drawings he produced at the zoo, for which he was awarded the Packard Prize (he competed with the entire student body at PAFA). Additionally, in 1927, he received the Cresson grant to travel to Europe and study in France. While in Europe, Anderson saw many important sites in France and Spain—he visited the Louvre, the Prado, and many art museums in between. But it was the cave paintings of southwestern France—the Les Eyzies and Lascaux—that he found particularly moving. 6 After Europe, Anderson moved back to Ocean Springs, where he met Agnes Grinstead, a recent graduate of Radcliffe College, whose family had a summer home nearby. The two would soon marry and have four children together. During the 1930s, Anderson painted for the Works Progress Administration where he painted murals, most notably a mural for Ocean Springs High School which now hangs in the Walter Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs. During the 1930s, Anderson acquired Mexican artist Adolpho Best-Maugard’s A Method for Creative Design, which would influence him tremendously. Adolpho Best-Maugard was commissioned at a young age to illustrate pre-Hispanic materials that were being excavated from the Valley of Mexico. While copying thousands of these decorate wares, he studied them closely and began to see similarities between the patterns on each ware. After exploring these similarities further, he would ultimately conclude that all primitive people use the same forms and patterns to represent various natural phenomena, and he thus identified seven elements from which all decorative patterns are made: point and straight line, spiral, circle, semicircle, wavy line, “s” shape, and zigzag. 7 Anderson employed these elements directly, as is evidenced in the distinctive lines and patterns that make up many of his birds, turtles, and other creatures seen in his work.

In 1937, Walter Anderson suffered from a nervous breakdown and, for the next three years, would be institutionalized at various mental hospitals. In August 1938, he returned to Ocean Springs, but was almost immediately hospitalized again in Maryland in 1939. Somehow, Anderson escaped in the winter in his hospital outfit, and was not heard from again until he appeared in Ocean Springs. In 1940, the Anderson family moved to Oldfields, the pecan plantation and antebellum home where his mother was born. 8 Walter Anderson joined his family at Oldfields in 1941. Trying to build a market for his work, it was during his time at Oldfields that Walter Anderson created his linoleum blocks and printed them on the reverse side of wallpaper. 9 Walter Anderson stayed at Oldfields until 1947, when (with the consent of his family) he moved back to his cottage at Shearwater Pottery. During the last twenty years of his life, Walter Anderson would spend his time traveling back and forth to several of the barrier islands, the islands that separate the Mississippi Sound with the Gulf of Mexico. Both the Pascagoula and Pearl rivers flow into the Mississippi Sound, where the water is thus brackish and supports a number of different species of animals and plants.10 Anderson would spend his days drawing and studying the plant and animal life, mainly on Horn Island, and at night he would sleep under the skiff he had used to row himself across the 14 miles of sound to get to the Island. In 1965, he weathered Hurricane Betsy on Horn Island covered only by his skiff. 11 After his death from cancer in 1965, his widow, Agnes Grinstead Anderson, discovered thousands of logs, sketches, and watercolor paintings, which represent a remarkable catalogue of Anderson’s work during the years he spent at Horn Island. As Patty Carr Black says, “For Anderson, art was not a product but a process, a means of experiencing the world.” 12

QUESTIONS TO GUIDE BRAINSTORMING SESSION WITH STUDENTS The following questions should be used after the first visit to The Art Garden (or whatever outdoor space you are using) to create your field guides. The ultimate goal of this brainstorming session is to choose topics upon which your field guides will be based. (whole class – 10 min., group – 8 min., report back to whole class – 5 min.) You've looked at some field guides in your classrooms. Yes? What did you notice about the field guides? An observation that might be made is that field guides are organized by categories, species, locations, wide view (landscape), focused (up close) view, etc. Our project is to create field guides for The Art Garden. You will work in groups – each group will create a different field guide. What did you notice while you were outside in the garden? What did you hear in the garden? What did you smell in the garden? What did you touch in the garden? Did you notice any patterns in the garden? Any groups of similar things? How did what you saw outside compare to the art you saw in The Mississippi Story? How was it different than what you expected to see in The Art Garden? How was it different from the [your school’s] schoolyard? Keep in mind that we are going to make 10 field guides. We will share them with people who have never visited The Art Garden. What do you think would make a good topic for a field guide for The Art Garden?

FIELD GUIDE PHOTOGRAPHY CHECKLIST Group facilitator: Goal: Each student in the group will take enough photographs to choose one that adds an item to the field guide, is in focus, and interesting. Classroom Teacher:
