Day One: The Art

Begin the week by viewing the American Verses exhibition video below to see the art and get know the artists: Terry Adkins, Mark Bradford, Kerry James Marshall. The artists featured in American Verses use visual art as their main expression but implore the use of storytelling, music, and movement to help inspire and inform their work. Throughout the festival, interact with these art forms to explore both the artists’ and your own personal stories. The following activities are in a suggested order, however, feel free to use them in a way that best fits your classroom.
