ART
Visible Differences
Students will learn that an image is a complex cultural productions that are laden with multiple meanings and open to various interpretations. During the class, students will compare and contrast two images from the Peabody’s collection. One image is of a native leader and was painted by a white male artist and the other is a pencil drawing done by Jaw His Fight, a member of the Sioux tribe. The differences in how a culture depicts itself and how others depict them – and the meaning behind that – will be highlighted.
American Indian Pottery
Intricate designs, a variety of decorative techniques, and fluid, naturalistic shapes are presented to students during an informal survey of the Peabody’s collection of ancient and contemporary American Indian pottery. Highlights include our distinctive Late Woodland vessels of the Southeast and our extensive collection of southwestern pottery, including pieces by acclaimed Pueblo potter Maria Martinez.
